We have 3 African-American Gospel stations, 1 Southern-Gospel station, and two "blabber-mouth" stations that cover, maybe, 45,000 people.

One of the African-American Gospel stations WAS a good music station until they switched over without warning. The DJ's didn't have a clue what was about to happen until they were showed the door. That format switch caused quite an uproar in this town.

One of the other Gospel stations plays a couple hours of modern R&B music a day; but, I can't get into that, either.

All of the Gospel stations in my area don't have the best fidelity. Either they are very loud and distorted or they are so weak you can't hardly hear them.

I guess I'll have to start my own oldies AM station as soon as I win the lottery!
