Taylor: KDKA Radio NOT for sale; Quinn & Rose feed picks up 'DVE instead
Pittsburgh:- CBS Radio is not planning to sell KDKA-AM (1020) or St. Louis' KMOX-AM (1120) but their respective FM sisters are listed. For Pittsburgh that means WBZW-FM (93.7), WZPT-FM (100.7) and WDSY-FM (107.9) are all apparently on the block. That's according to Tom Taylor of Radio-Info.com. Speculation is that KDKA Radio is too tied into KDKA-TV (2) - although one could have said the same thing about KMOX Radio and its former TV sister, the current KMOV-TV (4) which had been sold in 1986 at another financially stressful time after Ted Turner tried to take the company over.
- Taylor also noted that Labor Day's feed of the Quinn and Rose show hit a glitch. The program, which originates at Pittsburgh's WPGB, has 17 affiliates who instead got the WDVE-FM (102.5) feed. Was it autopilot gone haywire? No word on whether the feed was screwed up on XM Channel 158 where Quinn's show also airs.

It was an improvement in programming for Sirius.
