Doesn't matter. If WJR and WABC damage each others signals it's going 
to result in loss of audience and loss of billing. Add the fact that 
Arbitron's PPM is believed to have caused the dramatic loss of 
billing in Philadelphia and Houston. Ad agencies will take advantage 
of any uncertainty. Their job is to get the lowest rates.

I noticed that WBZ, Boston, wasn't running IBUZ last night with 
regular programming, not sports. CBS has three high billing 
adjacents, WBZ, KDKA and WINS. I suspect they'll be next.
