Thanks for greetings and safety tip, Don.  ;D

You probably are aware WCBS is one of 2 all news stations (old motto: "You give us 22 minutes and we'll give you the news." 8 minutes of commercial per half hour) in NYC but the one that propagates better.  Outside of being the flagship station for the Mets, they are live news 24 hours a day.  Yesterday at 2330 UTC, I am spinning the dial around and WCBS is carrying Compass Media's network coverage of Buffalo at Philadelphia.  Puzzling programing, as WCBS has never broadcasted the Jets, Giants, or any NFL action - so you wouldn't naturally seek them out for a NFL broadcast.

My thought is that sister station/Giant flagship WFAN was broadcasting the post game program from the Pats/Giants travesty (the video from that game is NOT going to Canton), so they bumped Bills/Eagles from a normal WFAN transmission to WCBS. (You give us 22 minutes and we'll give you defensive holding reviews")

WCBS usually booms in here during the pre-dawn hours sounding like a local.
Meanwhile, one channel up the band, WLS in Chicago has a paltry signal which is often covered by the Cuban on the same freq.  ???
