[BC] Internet Streaming Primer

[Dana Puopolo]

Not really.

Dartmouth still has a commercial class A FM on 94.3.

They simply realized that no one was listening to the AM any more. For that
matter not many college students listen to FM any more. I remember there was a
waiting list for DJ shows at my college station. These days many college
stations can't even fill their schedules.

The irony is that in earlier times the reverse was true.  EVERYONE was
listening to 1340 and no one to 94.3.

I know that market. There are a TON of FMs that have come on there in the past
20 years. That market is WAY over radioed. FMs are starving there-trying to
run a stand alone AM there would be financial suicide.

That AM would be a decent NPR station. Perhaps the college should donate it to
NH public radio.

Any potential buyer should be prepared to do a move....
Although I'd say a 1kw U on 1340 SHOULD be a nice little "mom & pop" 
operation; coverage should reach well beyond Hartford to the south...
Dartmouth is just the latest school to succumb to the belief that the 
Internet is the end-all and be-all of mass media...
