When I have time to listen to one of my radios in the evening, I like to listen to AM 740, CFZM, Zoomer Radio from Toronto. Some evenings they boom in here loud and clear; on others, they fight it out with KRMG in Tulsa, Oklahoma, also on 740. Some evenings, KRMG wins out.

I just went to KRMG's website, and I see they simulcast on AM and FM. This is one case where I'd like to see them shutter their AM side, so CFZM would have no competition for the 740 frequency.

As much as I enjoy listening to talk such as Savage and Armstrong & Getty, music does sound better on an old radio than does talk.
