Talk:WRKO

Miscellaneous
"The station today has experienced years of steady decline in its audience. Most observers trace the decline to its emphysis on extreme right-wing politics that is out of step with the population of the Greater Boston area." I, personally, would agree with this. But this is an opinion that is not often brought up. You fail to mention 'FM Talk' 96.9 WTKK signing on in 1999 coinciding with the decline of WRKO. The decline of AM radio in general. Also, the reliance of too many syndicated shows instead of local origination (this wold include the first three hours of the Howie Carr drivetime program).

In your primary posting on WRKO, it says: "WRKO is Boston's second most powerful station.   A 50,000-watt class B station, it provides . . . "

If I'm not mistaken, 50,000 watts is the maximum allowable power for a legal/FCC licensed AM station in the United States which means no other AM station could be more powerful. (There might be an FM station in the market with more power but power in FM is not nearly so important (for coverage) as antenna height whereas power in AM is nearly "everything" and comparing AM and FM stations [by power] is like "apples and oranges.")

Please check on this.

Cheers!

 * Power output is not necessary in the lede. I rewrote the introductory paragraph to identify it as a Class B AM station. Nathan Obral (talk) 04:00, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
