Nice job of putting words in my mouth and assuming what I meant.

No, but this station needs some technical upgrades. (I heard the sign off
aircheck someone made, and it sounded horrible) That combined with monthly
operating costs and maintence make it a losing proposition.

50kw AM's don't necessarily mean lots of money anymore. The station is
pretty directional and is in an over saturated radio market.

I could care less what theyre programming, doesn't bother me.  But the
power bill alone for 50kw day and 2500 watts night is several thousand a
month, minimum.. nevermind maintence and repairs.... there's already plenty
of religion, talk radio and music on the radio in Chattanooga.

Nostalgia... the old top 40 days, 50000 watts on am don't pay the billd
anymore.. Alot of DX'ers don't seem to realize that nor do they understand
the business side of radio.
