In a time when a company can buy a station and take it silent to 
favor another market, why couldn't a common owner agree to accept the 
interference from the daytimer? I don't like the idea but I wonder 
how many distant listeners have any interest in Chicago news, weather 
and traffic. Of course, I'm assuming the daytimer has a full time 
news staff 24/7 and is providing live and local service to a 
community that, desperately, needs Michael Savage after dark.
