It will be interesting to see if he flips formats or not. WHLD's site is southwest of Buffalo, so the coverage to the east, including downtown Buffalo, is quite constrained because of the protection to WHTK 1280 Rochester.  WECK, despite its 1 kw power, is non-directional and is actually a lot stronger in the core of Buffalo. WHLD is aimed boresight at Niagara Falls, so a lot stronger there.
The construction permit for 5 kW day, 143 watts night dates back to 1999. They got a subsequent increase to 1 kW night.

Given all that, he’s probably just going to simulcast WECK on it.

Regardless, it definitely will be flipped from syndicated conservative talk.

Surprisingly, 590 is live and local tonight.

Don't know who'd be listening, but good for them I guess.

Could 590 be carrying the Leafs in a simulcast until the Jays start, telling listeners to tune down the dial? I would find that very surprising, but stranger things have happened.

I have a vague recollection of that happening once before.

WSM slipped through all the cracks of corporate consolidation and is currently the only radio station run by the company the owns the legendary Ryman Auditorium.

It is currently the 5th ranked of 5 Country stations in Nashville, with a 0.5 share.

It's publicly available information once 680 reports it.

Interesting article, although I thought he'd save most of it for his radio show. But I have one question. How can this be true?
  
"We had a great thing going on the 640 Toronto morning drive show—“Toronto Today with Greg Brady.” We were the most-listened to talk show in that time slot with key demographics advertisers want to spend dollars on."

Really? What about CBC Radio 1? (Yes, they don't accept ads, but still - does the CBC not have a larger audience, regardless of age?) Surely that easily out rates Brady in the morning.

Yep, CBC Radio 1 is #1 in the morning in the demos he's talking about.
 

But can clients spend on CBC1? I think that last point of Greg's is somewhat key. Advertisers may opt for CBC1 if they could, but they can't.

Sales department doesn't care, programming might/should.

What a great move by Durham.

You'd also be able to cast the phone to a TV, essentially using as an antenna/converter.

Simsub on regularly scheduled scripted shows is not as important as it use to be, especially a one off like this.  CTV could actually benefit since it will be running Trent at the regular time prior to ABC.  Global ran 60 Minutes at it's regular time yesterday, ahead of CBS which was still covering golf.  Global never did this a few years ago and now it is very frequent. 

They're not running 60 minutes on time because Simsub is less important, they're doing it so it ends on time and the rest of the prime-time lineup can be Simsub'd when applicable.

I'm assuming it's because the companies have separately pre-sold all the sponsorship elements

Evan Soloman also won.

3) If Greg Brady loses in Whitby, will he really be back as host of AM640's morning drive show? If so, how long will it be before he returns?

They're not going to go through the hassle and expense of firing him without cause, especially right as the show's gaining traction and routinely beating 1010.

Ah, but couldn't one argue he left his job to pursue another and therefore isn't guaranteed that he can get his position back?

There would have been an agreement before he did this.

Even if they could find cause, or decided to eat the cost of no-cause, why would they? It's by far the best performing show on the station.
