Talk:WCPT (AM)

message: Because WCPT-AM 850 is a "daytimer".  They go off the air at night to "protect" the major users of 850 kHz, primarily KOA Denver, which is easily received in Chicagoland.  That really is an FCC regulation.
OTOH, it's much like buying a house next to the train tracks and then complaining about the noise of the trains.  If you don't like being a daytimer, apply for a licence on a full-time channel or (more likely these days) buy a station that's full time.  --4.19.111.130 19:21, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Removed ratings comments about where WCPT stood as proven by the following document:
"Chicago Radio Ratings". Chicago Sun-Times. Jan 11, 2007. FindArticles.com. 25 Jun. 2007. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4155/is_20070111/ai_n17134065
Would like to see that go back up, but not if it is false.  Sorry guys and gals.
Again, false ratings info is put into the article.  WCPT is not a ratings success, does not have ratings above WIND and WCKG, and does not even appear in the published ratings reports.  Check out this report October 17, 2007 Chicago Sun-Times report of Arbitron ratings: http://articles.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4155/is_20071017/ai_n21050027
What's troubling about this false ratings information is that it appears to make liars out of WCPT fans.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.60.239.176 (talk) 13:54, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Luckily, moves of this type are actually easier than they appear. What can be done on November 26, when the change takes place, is merely swapping infoboxes on each of the articles, as well as making minor changes in the Chicago radio template. Hopefully, this will minimize confusion.--Fightingirish 07:01, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The move has been made. WCPT is 820 and WAIT is 850. I did it a day early just to be done with it.--Fightingirish (talk) 20:28, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
