How do you know that, though?

About either one....

Only station in town.

no, there used to be a second station on the AM... till they bought it..

Just because we are the only game in town doesn't mean the other stations (Charleston, Huntington, Beckley, Bluefield, Williamson, Pikeville, Matewan, Prestonsburg, Paintsville, etc) don't beam their signal in here.

As for WLOG we didn't buy them. They simply went out of business.

Those metro stations do not "beam" their signals into Logan.
They ignore Logan. Their signals do get there but they are weak.
Just like Logan radio reaches Charleston or Huntington.
Logan radio serves Logan. That is the key.

Not true. Not all of them anyway.

Jay has a billboard in Logan?

No, but my station doesn't ignore the coalfields. Neither does The Wolf.

Dave Allen · Post by **Dave Allen** » Thu May 10, 2007 7:28 pm

My presets are The Wolf, 'Kee, 'Vow (of course) 105, WVKM, 'Kaz, 'Q95, WXCC, V100, 'QBE, Electric, J104 and a few others that I add and take of from time to time. Not one of those comes in "weak". As for targeting Logan for years The Wolf targeted their biggest promotion of the year (at least one of the biggest, the hands on promotion) in Logan County.

Does "KAZ or the Wolf have sales people that come to Logan?
Or just to the 3 big car dealers?

Dave Allen · Post by **Dave Allen** » Thu May 10, 2007 7:31 pm

Yes they do, on a regular basis, as does Bristol.

They are just there to score dope or steal hubcaps.
Maybe the hotdogs attract them.

Dammit, Gen, you figured it out. Now we have to kill you.

Naw, if they could just find a way to get people to stop calling their location the "SEARS" building, they would be OK!

I always wondered why it was called the Sears Building if Sears was in W. Logan and not in the Sears Building. I also loved that elevator, and the door to the roof when the roof was covered with ice.

Dave, Roscoe the Great? More like Roscoe the Dazed and Confused.

is there still that dentists office a couple doors down?

No, they were forced to leave when all their laughing gas kept disappearing.

As for the Sears Building name there are two stories with that. One is that Sears was in this building a long time ago. The other is that there was a doctor named Sears in this building at one time.
