[IRCA] 1050 NYC now an FM simulcast (for now)

[Scott Fybush <scott@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just in case anyone hasn't heard the big news out of New York City yet, 
at midnight ESPN began leasing WRKS (98.7) from Emmis. From now until 
September, 98.7 is simulcasting ESPN Radio with WEPN 1050, and at least 
based on the first half-hour, ALL the on-air mentions are "98.7."

In September, ESPN will flip WEPN 1050 to ESPN Deportes Spanish-language 
sports talk...but from now until then, if you hear "98.7" amidst the 
sports talk on 1050, it's WEPN, which should make it a little easier to 
distinguish from the "TSN Radio" sports talk also on 1050 via Toronto's 
CHUM.
