I don't see how KMJ would have much impact on WMCA- being as they are on 
opposite coasts. It's been a while since I saw the actual maps, I just remember a 
*lot* of the 50Kw signal going out to sea, and most of the signal into CT 
going away. Personally, I was hoping that they *would* do it, because their format 
is very similar to ours. ;)
