John and Group:

	I hate to be nit-picky, but it seems to be a hazard encountered by
those who have graded college papers, if only for three years.  What is
wrong with this sentence fragment: "WXXY and it is other incarnations on
1600...?"  The apostrophe gets altogether too much use these days.  I used
to write on the blackboard, "Due to the fact that = because," and "In spite
of the fact that = although."  That was about as far as I went with the
students.  The renowned baseball historian, Dr. Charles Alexander, used to
give us all copies of "Alexander's 27 rules for better writing" every time
an opportunity presented itself.

Subject: [IRCA] WXXY-1600 Dover DE, format tweak

WXXY-AM-1600 in Dover, Delaware (one of my locals) seems to have changed
their format from urban gospel to contemporary Christian music.  WXXY and
it's other incarnations on 1600 have been basically urban gospel for about
the last 10 years but they seem to have shifted to a CCM format.  A quick
listen today showed more local Dover announcements, as they may not be just
relaying programming from the 88.7 Mhz main station in Port Republic NJ
(WXXY-FM).  Since I don't listen to WXXY all that much, I'm not sure when
the change took place but my log from late last year of WXXY-FM had them as
an urban gospel station, which WXXY-AM was simulcasting, so this shift in
programming is rather recent, I think.
