If anyone knows why I'd be curious. I used to work for Tribune when 
they owned WPIX-FM, New York (now WQCD). Maybe I'll just call and 
ask. With just a single station they really have no vested interest 
in the system and, I'll bet, were concerned about the analog quality.

I'm strangely disappointed that a perfect test of IBUZ's effect on 
TSL isn't possible until they turn it back on. If I were the GM or PD 
I'd be extremely careful not to do anything to give WGCI and 
advantage. WGN's claim on #1 is tenuous. Recent PD changes might have 
something to do with it.
