EXTRA POINT
Trying to pick up college football scores I hit the scan button on my car radio Saturday. The AM radio zipped from 540 to 1700, stopping just one time. Whatever the station was broadcasting, it had nothing to do with football so I scanned again. Same result. It didn't surprise me but continues to make me shake my head that there's only one AM station whose signal is strong enough in these parts that the radio tunes it in.

When I  was acting sports editor at the local paper one summer I went in at 5 a.m. and I'd listen each morning to a station out of Philadelphia. Ironically, when I was sports editor in central Pennsylvania and drove in each morning around 5 one of the clearest stations to come in was from Boston.

For what it's worth, when I was a kid I used to listen to Pete Franklin, who practically invented sports talk radio on WWWE out of far-away Cleveland.
