[78-L] WKRC Western swing festival on now!

[simmonssomer]

Right..and some are streaming all over the world via the internet. WFUV-FM 
the Fordham University station does this. I can't know the size of
their audience but the potential could be in the millions. Imagine,  these 
were tiny powered college stations with a b'cast range of mebbe 20 miles or 
so just a few years ago. Quo Vadis?
