Boy this is embarrassing, but my column is screwed up today and the online version is going to have a hideous, glaring correction box in it and y'all deserve better from me, so here goes.
I hate making mistakes and I hate for mistakes by others to appear under my byline -- but I hate it even worse when the mistakes are in a column about RADIO.
The first correction brought to my attention pertains to WCAP, which was not based in New York, but Wash., D.C. The p.m. paper will say both were on the "East Coast" for space considerations.
The most glaring error was in the hed and lede (headline and lead paragraph), pointed out by Mel. KUPA has not been Japanese language for some time -- but has been simulcasting 99.5 FM -- something the buyer didn't correct me on when I asked him about the Japanese-language format. I honestly haven't tuned in to 1370 AM since I was checking to see if it was still silent -- and of course I didn't get the true scoop confirmed until I spoke with Mahlon this morning. Bummer. My apologies to you readers/posters.
