Would syndicated morning shows take ANY affiliate in a market? As Mancow has trouble clearing stations, would TRN-FM consider putting him on, say, a college station? And what would such college station pay for his show? Just thinking outside the box to drum up clearances.
 
Well I doubt any college station would put him on for money. Most college stations are used as a learning tool and not a ratings tool. Although it would teach the kids how to run a board since that's what most of them will be doing once they get out of college.

Funny you should mention this.

It appears the St. Louis-based syndicated morning show "Steve and DC" has signed up a very, very small affiliate - 250 watt daytimer WQMA/1520 in Marks, Mississippi.

In case that doesn't ring a bell, it's the station owned by a former AOL radio board regular, and a regular on this board worked there briefly a year or so ago. (No, Paul, this is not an invite for you to open that can of worms. :D)

Some shows seem to only aim at FMs, but even "TRN-FM"'s Mancow is on KLAC/570. And even Stern has a couple of AMs in his collection - in Reno and in Grand Rapids, if I remember right.
