Bye Bye Boston's Progressive Talk?

[Donna Halper]

Somebody whom I trust says that Clear Channel is pulling the plug on 
the progressive format in Boston on Friday, no matter what Air 
America does as far as finding a buyer. (Btw, whether the format had 
ratings in Boston, it certainly has ratings in 
Springfield/Northampton since WHMP starting doing it full-time on 2 
stations... here in Boston, I couldn't hear WXKS or WKOX well at all 
on the South Shore, 7 miles from Boston.)  Anybody heard anything 
about a format change, and if so, would the progressive format end up 
on some other area station?
