When will they learn?
Sorry to seem like a broken record, but it needs to be pointed out -- all these flips from rock to talk (alt stations aren't the only ones to feel the brunt of this)have been a total disaster. The Merlin stations in Chicago and New York City are both struggling to get above ratings above 0.5. WKRK has slid to about 1/3 of its prior audience and in Buffalo WLKK has slid to -- wait for this 0.0! This from a station that was getting over 2.0 on a signal that barely came into the city.
