I was very happy to read this post.  Some persons may not be aware that
a commercial station, KRTS-FM 92.1, Seabrook, TX ceased broadcasting
last fall.  It's a 100,000-watt station 20 to 30 miles away from Houston,
that nevertheless got a rating with a whole number to the left of the
decimal point (I'm being vague because unauthorized persons are not
supposed to quote Arbitron ratings directly!) in Houston.  This raises
the question: has the demise of KRTS increased listenership; response
as in the form of letters, phone calls and e-mails; and and a bump in
donations?
