[IRCA] Re: Was WAIK-IL 1590 on day power w/Chicago Bears fb last nite?

["HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS" <DAVID.HASCALL@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey KAZ - WAIK is News / Talk / Sports, not ESPN, AFAIK.  

About your ESPN: I checked Barry's site and Platteville, WI (WPLV) is
ESPN and // to WGLR-1280.  I doubt that I heard WPLV, as they sounded
stronger than 1 Kw (and they were not listed as a Bears affiliate, WAIK
was, however).

I noted a strong ESPN on 1590 the last few nights. Does WAIK run ESPN
nights 
? If they had the Bears on last night, I suspect that when I passed by
1590 
and heard ESPN, perhaps the Bears game was over or perhaps WAIK was
running 
the ESPN promo during a break.

Anyhow.,..WAIK has run day rig at night in the past and rather often
over 
the past 2 or 3 years.   73 KAZ Barrington IL
