St. Louis area DUers: We're getting Al Franken (1190 KRFT-AM radio)!

[deadparrot]

“Satirist Al Franken and controversial libertarian Neal Boortz will make their debut on the St. Louis airwaves Wednesday when sports station KRFT-AM (1190) flips to an all-talk format. The station also will air radio powerhouse Don Imus and hip-hop sports show ‘Two Live Stews.’”

1. Bleah. Imus would be too much.

I need AAR on 950 am in Mt Vernon, Il. 'Course, they might be a little short on listeners, with just me, and I can't stand their current "Dr. Laura" fare.

2. What's the wattage on 1190?

I'd love to pick up another AAR station after dark in the Chicago area. We've only got a daytimer here.

3. Just did a google search - 10kW (10000 watts)

pretty good size - but I wouldn't say it is AAR. Bortz is slightly right of Mussolini.
