I'm looking for a list of affiliates -- I know he's got one in Buffalo,
one in the NYS Capital District (Albany, Schen., Troy) and he says one in
Los ANgeles. The Baltimore affil (AM 68) is gone.

Publication of affiliate lists only gives the competition a target
list to work. I'm sure it's not KFI or KABC. That leaves the third
tier KRLA (brokered) and KLAC.

The WOR Radio Net. used to have lists of affils by state for each show but
not anymore.

That's when I was Webmaster. We decided to drop it because maintenance
was too time consuming. It was more important for me to run the
network rather than the web site.

It also gives people who know their salt about radio the chance to laugh
when a big nationally syndicated show plugs covering Chicago, when the
station airing the show is actually a 250 watt daytimer west of Rockford
:-)

(this is an example; it never happened to the best of my knowledge)

Oh, it's happened, alright! Even among the biggies. A high-profile
certain recently launched nationally syndicated program...put out by
one of the major radio networks....has a few of these on its list.

For one, it lists Conneaut, OH's WWOW-AM 1360 as "Cleveland/Conneaut"
(until WERE/1300 Cleveland picked up this program, it was the only
"Cleveland" affiliate listed). WWOW is a 500 watt station that has
trouble reaching nearby Ashtabula, OH, let alone most of Cleveland.


At least they didn't try to hide it and just call WWOW a "Cleveland"
(without mention of its city of license) affiliate!

I was thinking it had, but without an example bubbling to the top of my
mind, Mike, I didn't want to say it with absolute certainty. Ya know how
vicious you all are if someone's wrong :-)

WWOW-Conneaut - The boys at Syndicate HQ probably thought Conneaut sounded
"cute" or "hip" :-D
