There was also a negative connotation associated with KXL AM, that the
Blazers weren't too happy with I bet.
And they weren't going to change KXL AM to Sports Radio, because
you'll notice that the other "sports" station (sports in quotes
because it's a crappy sports station) ain't exactly rich.
They ain't poor, but I'd bet that KXL makes more money (especially
considering it's the home for a nationally syndicated hate show, the
Lars Larson show).

Could be the geography around here to a certain extent too. FM signals
penetrate better in areas like mine (the Gorge) & are also not as affected
by driving under those big power lines that we have so many of.
BTW, NPR has been doing talk on FM for quite some time.
Go Blazers !
