Re: [IRCA] WMOV 1360 Format Change

[David Faulkner <drdsfaulkner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Paul:

Sorry to argue with you, but back in December I reported on the format change at WCHI.  At that time WMOV was still carrying its talk format, particularly WV Metronews.  The same was true when I reported on the WYPC andd WBGS changes in September.  Despite WOUB slop in Athens, here WMOV has a good signal, semi-local quality.  I don't see much of a future for the station, as Ravenswood is well within the Marietta-Parkersburg radio market area and Ravenswood is a very small town.
