1. If there's a choice, take the powerful station! I live in Ga. and

AAR is only broadcast on one station, as far as I know. It isn't a very powerful station, and once you get very far outside of Atlanta, it gets very heavy static and sometimes just not received at all!

By far, the best for Kansas would be a higher power station, even if lots of areas are very Red. A lot of things that the Dems say cause people to think. That's a good thing!

2. even if it did appear on the powerful station

MU sports would pre-empt a lot of the weekend programming, during basketball season, the evening would get pre-empted with MU basketball

3. So just how long is basketball season, ans is it worth giving up

some of that AAR coverage time to reach more people at all the time basketball isn't being played?

That's a decision YOU have to make. I don't know your area.

4. college basketball season lasts from November to March

and they probably have contractual obligations on the powerful station

5. if it makes you feel any better

KU basketball frequently pre-empts Savage Weiner on 980 kkMBZ

6. Not sure about FM

While I notice FM talk is growing in other cities I wonder how it would take in KC. Most people who tend to listen to AM listen specifically for talk or sports radio. Then again having it on FM might catch listeners who don't normally listen to talk radio.

7. FM has better sound quality
