2. Yes....But

they will find a new location on the dial and a new building...or extend their lease until they do! Anyway, that's what should happen in this situation! http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/recent_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002424337

4. being a NYC

resident, i know that there arent a lot of availble options on the radio with good coverage in NYC.
570 - WMCA christian talk
620 WSNR sporting news radio leased time/sports low power
660 - WFAN
770 - WABC
880 - WCBS
710 - WOR Radio
1010- WINS
1050 - ESPN radio
1190 - current home of AAR
1130 - bloomberg news
1240 - WGBB chinese variety
930 - WPAT (possible home 5000 watts, would have to switch formats from current multi-ethnic music) but is lower powered
970 WWDJ - religious out of NJ
1100 WHLI easy listening music, 10k watts, easy listening music.

1160 WVNJ jersey station 20k watts

most of the rest are foreign language stations.

but as you can see there isnt a whole lot of room there for a new affiliate. I hope i am wrong and they can either continue somehow one LIB or on another 10k+ watt station.

5. I Dunno What's Going On

no one is answering the phone in NYC

3. the "demise" of Air America

O'Reilly did another segment last night about the "demise" of Air America. Maybe there's another reason besides Air America's Progressive voice that causes him to fixate on it's death. News that the average age of O'Reilly's audience is 71 might be making him just a little nervous. Is the "culture warrior" out of touch?
