You ought to see our local cable TV news channel (News 12 NJ). You'll see three 
and sometimes four different ads for car dealerships in the same cluster.

And some clusters start and finish with the same commercial. But those sponsors 
pay for that specific placement.

Just the evolution of the media...

Re: [IRCA] Changes at ESPN New York (1050)

[n2su]

WBAI is still on 99.5 and owned by Pacifica. Non-commercial.

The 98.7 frequency was WOR-FM in the 60s, then WXLO and was WRKS (Kiss FM) for 
the last 30 years. Urban formatted.

Should make for some interesting happenings in New York Radio.

Yeah, heard Mike  Mike talking about this change this morning.  I hope this 
will eliminate one more tired, cliched, noisy rocker from the airwaves.  But 
didn't the 98.7 NYC used to be WBAI, New York's Gadfly of the Airwaves,

this was originally a non-commercial license.  Anybody else remember all that?

Re: [IRCA] 30 years of skywave DXing

[n2su]

Got the radio bug from a cousin of mine who was into shortwave. Our 
grandparents lived out in the country and he would put up a wire and we would 
listen to the propaganda broadcasts (this was the mid-60s). 

Started in 1968 with a small Panasonic portable radio (transistor) which my 
family got from the local Triple-S stamp redemption center in nearby Fair Lawn. 
Picked up a couple hundred stations that summer and got a Hallicrafters S-120 
for Christmas. Never knew about radio clubs, but it was a lot of fun just doing 
it myself. I knew shortwave stations QSL'd, but never realized AM stations did 
too! To this day, I have just one BCB QSL: KOA in Denver on that same Panasonic 
portable (which no longer works) from 1977.

Three years later I got into amateur radio as WN2BSU and am now celebrating 40 
years in the hobby. Started in broadcasting in 1980 at WRKL in New City NY, 
worked full-time in radio in the mid-80s in WV, VA and IN before returning to 
NJ in 1986. Have been doing sports reporting at WGHT since 1999 on a part-time 
basis, in addition to working a day job. 

Found out about NRC from my friend Dave Marthouse and joined in 2001. Also 
joined IRCA. It's still fun to just listen and I do it once in a while. 
Guess it's a return to my roots as a radio hobbyist.

Saul - 
 
Basque has no relationship to French as it is not a Latin language.
 
In Spain, the origin of the Basques was a subject of occasional discussion. 
The most accepted theories  (at least amongst my acquaintances in Madrid and 
Wikipedia) is that Basque has some linguistic roots in common with languages 
of the Caucasus and possibly with early European languas that pre-date the 
Indo-European languages now spoken. There is no clear consensus and no one 
seems to have conclusive proof, which tells you how old a language Basque is.

Congratulations Colin. I admit most of my radio hobby time is spent 
transmitting, but I do like to just listen from time to time. 

A noteworthy achievement.

Re: [IRCA] Sort of On-Topic radio announcement...

[n2su]

Colin:

Congratulations and welcome to the fraternity! MW DXing was my first activity 
in the radio hobby 40 years ago and is still a part of my activity. The great 
thing about the hobby is that there are many activities within ham radio and if 
you don't feel like transmitting, the receiver is always there.

Good luck with it.

Another famous setup is K3LR on the PA-OH border. It is visible from I-80.

Re: [IRCA] Flooding in Northeast

[n2su]

 Central NJ got over 5 inches of rain, Rutgers classes are canceled today and
tomorrow, the Raritan has overflowed its banks and closed most of the
bridges, etc.  This might be a good opportunity for DXers outside of the
affected area to log some new ones.
 

Here in Northern NJ, the flooding knocked WGHT 1500 off the air. I was 
listening to the radio on the way home from work and I found no signal from 
them. 

Third time they've been flooded out since I've been working there (part-time). 
Their antennas and studios are right on the Pompton River so it's no surprise. 

Wonder when they'll get back on. They're a daytimer, so it doesn't affect 
anybody's DX.

 Here's a real-life example of a station already feeling the pinch - WRKL 
910 New City NY, in Rockland County, 35 miles NW of Manhattan, which has 
depended over the last few years on its fringe signal toward NYC for 
most of its audience:

And most of that audience is in Northern NJ and New York City, since Rockland 
County itself has a negligible Polish-speaking population.
My area has thousands of Polish immigrants and coverage is not the best, but 
RKL is still audible here. 

They have been Polish-formatted since 1999. It's a simulcast with the Polnet 
station in Chicago. If you're a soccer junkie, they do all the Chicago Fire 
games.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] All Christmas music formats

[n2su]

-Original Message-
From: Patrick Griffith,  

There was an interesting story in the Business Review (Albany NY) on
12/8 about radio stations that switch to All Christmas / All The Time
formats around Thanksgiving. The article says that about 370 stations
nationwide make the switch each year. It quoted a media research firm
who reviewed 119 FM stations that adopted this format in 2005. They
found an average market share increase of 10% in both the adult age
25-to-54 and all listener over age 12 sections. Two Albany area stations
mentioned in the article had adult 25-to-54 market share increases of
50% (WKLI) and 37.5% (WTRY) last year! 

Personally I can't stand this format.  

Bottom line, it sells!

I'm sure most of us on these lists can't stand it either, since many of us are 
broadcasters and have had to sit through six hours of this stuff at a time. 

People are amazed when I tell them I hate Christmas music.

I'd love to see a station declare itself a Christmas-free zone as a 
sanctuary for those of us who can't stand it.

Kindergarten, Clifton NJ. Don't remember a thing.

And to think the Phil Spector Christmas Album would come out about a week 
later. Talk about bad timing.
