station, WNWS-FM

a poster elsewhere replied that almost all the
former CBS O and O's, which are now part of Audacy,
have set this up.

Oh, and one reason for this (which no one's saying
out loud) is that many of the electric vehicles
do NOT have AM radios.

".. we'll give you 8 innings of a scoreless tie with Cleveland..."

Refernce: In an amazingly HORRIBLE decision, WINS brokered
hours and hours of time to The Yankee's Broadcast group (not
sure of the exact corporate name/arrangement) way back
during... the 1978 NYC newspaper strike [a].

Sidenote: This was the same period in which that litle
issue of the (as it was then called) Citibank Building
vs. The Wind was uncovered, and hence got little publicity.

Note that despite the claims no one had heard of it and
that it was "secret until 1995" [b], I certainly saw some
coverage back then, and an acquaintance of mine who visited
legal offices in it saw the retroffiting underay
