	AP Wire \| 09/12/2006 \| KDKA out as Pirates flagship station
		KDKA will cease to be the Pirates' flagship station in 2007 as the team's radio rights shift for the first time to FM, news-talk station WPGB.
		KDKA, a 50,000-watt station that can be heard throughout the East Coast and in Canada during the evenings, also aired Pirates games at times before WWSW gained the team's broadcast rights for a period in the 1940s and early 1950s.
		KDKA remains one of Pittsburgh's top-rated stations, but a large chunk of its audience is older than the 25-to-54 age group that advertisers covet.

	AP Wire \| 09/29/2006 \| Dead air: Pioneering sports station KDKA says goodbye to baseball (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		To the Pirates, the chance to reach a younger audience was a major reason behind the move, as KDKA's average listener is 59.
		Arlin was a KDKA engineer, not an announcer, when he called that first game via a phone that was converted into a microphone in 1921, but his brief dabbling with baseball proved prescient.
		Now, KDKA can kiss baseball goodbye and, for many Pirates fans, baseball on the radio won't be the same without the historic station that first took the air as 8XK in 1916.

		KDKA's morning drive numbers, however, are significantly lower among 25- to 54-year-olds, ranking sixth with a 6.7 share, behind WDVE's Krenn and Randy Baumann, WBZZ-FM's JohnDaveBubbaShelley team, WRRK's Quinn, WDSY-FM's Welch and Woody and the syndicated Stern on WXDX.
