[BC] Daylight Savings Time changes?

[Scott Bailey]

Willie,
    Sounds like you have a mess here.   Have you guys thought about working with WTOP and come to some kinda of agreement for you to run at 5 KW btw 6 AM and 6 PM during the winter months, reguradless of when your Sunrise of Sunset time actually are? Yea, it might make a mess on 1500 for a couple of hours in the morning and afternoon hours, but economics comes into play here and it?s important to get those paid programs on!  Who are you protecting day right now?  I wished during the major change window that opened up 2 years ago, you could have found somewhere else to go with better conditions.
