I remember the reports that the station is lower-power compared the the AM one (which, iirc, is 50,000 watts). There may even have been plans to increase the power of the new station, which was going through a wholesale format change.

The real question is how many listeners the blowhard will have at his new station and how many advertisers he has left. I've seen the statements from his spokesman, but it's clear that Rush's situation now is certainly not the rosy picture they make it out to be.
