[BC] Re: WGN and IBUZ

[Rob Atkinson]

if you get up at around 4:30 a.m. and turn on WGN during the week, you get a 
report of what's on the front pages of the local papers, then at 4:45 you 
get a "today in history" report which always ends with come historical note 
about a recording artist as an intro to one of his hit singles.  I mention 
this because it's the only time these days that WGN plays music that isn't a 
jingle or sample cut.  Then you get to check out their true bandwidth if you 
have a good rx.

I have not noticed any difference in the analog signal for WGN and I have 
been listening for it.  WBBM turned theres off for a while then came back 
on.
