Re: [IRCA] Low Priority West Coast Question (KCBC-770)

[Mike Hawkins <michael.d.hawkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

Eh?  Not sure I follow.  Their signal handled their COL just fine.  At night
in Manteca, they owned the air as well.  When they went off at night (11pm),
KKOB was in very well, but not until KCBC went off.  They were much stronger
in their COL.    I think they learned something from KTRB and are edging
their way towards the Bay Area so they can try to take over some audience
from KFAX (who does not get into the valley well at night).
