Have You Thought About It? WBAP Just Did

Alert Confessor James reports in a comment to the prior article that on this very day, WBAP News/Talk 820 AM has begun simulcasting on 96.7 FM, the signal formerly occupied by KPMZ, the Ron Chapman-programmed "Platinum" 60s-70s station licensed to Flower Mound.  Citadel Broadcasting just up and freakin' gave it to 'em.

I don't know the ins and outs of why Citadel Broadcasting gave WBAP the FM signal. Doubt that it was signal-related.  (820AM is 50,000 watts, clear-channel omnidirectional at night.  96.7 FM is 90,000 watts, not too shabby.)  Whatever the reason, it unquestionably made WBAP, which has a strong local news and Limbaugh/Hannity/Ingraham lineup, stronger still. 

But when The Ticket arises from its Cumulus-induced slumber and fills the ether with a fresh new 93.3 FM signal, the airwaves will sizzle with the exodus of ideology-exhausted WBAP listeners to The Little One.

Or some other overblown, mixed, and inappropriate metaphor.
