I just completed my first-ever vacation to Hawaii.
I found both central Maui and the Honolulu area to be just stacked with
powerful AM and FM stations. I am guessing that the transmitter power combined
with very high transmitter locations are an effort to tackle the very
to revert to good old AM.
I wonder if this will be the fate of all CBS stations that will be farmed out
to new management?
