They're putting BBM on FM to get the jump on another Chicago station, I 
think WKQX, which has just been acquired by a newly formed company called 
Merlin.  There have been rumors that they will flip it to some kind of news 
or talk-based format so CbS is just trying to stay a step ahead of them and 
also to grab the younger listeners who might be less inclined to tune in an 
AM signal, even if they wanted all-news.  Lou
