True - If they play their cards right, they *should* be #1 in NYC.

They'd have to add about 20kW to the 30 kW WLIB transmitter to have
a fair
shot at #1.

#2 ain't bad for three months. Let's see whether they can hold onto
it.


I'm not that familiar with the New York AM market--that's #2 in 25-54
out of 3 -talk- stations, correct? As opposed to #2 overall on AM.
And with all respect to your well-taken point regarding the
transmitter, there is still a huge disproportion of liberals to
conservatives all over NYC--a huge built in market that should
minimize any transmitter issues.

Correct.

But Rush is still #1, right?

Please don't give me a whiny answer.

Some Arbitron ratings I just looked at placed WLIB 24th in the NYC market.

In the 12+ demo, 24th overall. But there aren't a lot of talk stations in
NYC.

Correct.

No, it is also behind WFAN, a sports talker and WADO, a Spanish talker. Make
that #4 out of 5.

770, 620, 1280, 1050, 1190, 710 are all talk. Sports talk is also talk.

It's a whole different breed of talk, but I'll be happy to accept your
judgement for discussion purposes.

Yes, I was unclear in my expression; I meant to state their daytime power,
which covers the ratings time periods under discussion.

I see that I mistakenly gave the nighttime power (30 kW) for the daytime
power (really 10 kW, according to radio-locator.com).

Which makes their daytime ratings compared with the 50 kW WABC and WOR even
more impressive.
