I've been ranting about radio coverage in Pittsburgh. Seems that WPIT 730 AM and 96.5 FM (translator) will be the local outlet. AM is 5,000 watts daytime and a robust 24 watts at night. See link to coverage maps. This is a long time Christian station. Seems we could have done better than this, but it's better than nothing I guess. Its position on the dial and non-directional transmitter do give it some advantage in coverage area.

Could not agree more, but with more television games and the ability to access radio via the Internet I guess it's not deemed as important these days.

P.S. We lost KDKA due to Penn State's insistence that they carry basketball too. That, of course, was a ratings disaster for them at the time. Short sighted on PSU's part. Imagine that.
