That's how it is here, although we're basically in the same radio market.
I can still get 97.5 (WALK-FM) and 100.7 (WHUD) up here with no problems. On good days I can also get the station I used to listen too when I lived in NJ, 100.3 (Z-100).
For fun one of the local stations up here went to X-mas music for an hour after the morning show went off in July since it was going to be the hottest day of the year. 96.5 (WTIC-FM) put on the X-mas music right after Gary Craig's morning show went of the air for the day. They were just trying to get your mind off the heat!
