Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] X Band station ratings

[Scott Fybush <scott@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There are a handful of X-banders that show in the ratings. WTDY 1670 in 
Madison is one, 1660 in Kalamazoo is another. WRDW 1630 Augusta GA and 
KCJJ 1630 Iowa City do OK as well. 1660 in West Fargo just signed the Ed 
Schultz show, and should do well with that in his home market.

As with anything else on the AM dial, it's all in the programming and 
promotion. Give listeners something they want to hear and put effort 
into making it sound good and letting the public know it's there, and 
the ratings will follow.

There are certainly enough receivers out there now that the "new" nature 
of the band is far less of a factor than it used to be.
