...the station was treated like a poor stepchild...

I think Clear Channel treated WKOX-WXKS better than they treat their 
New Haven progressive talker, WAVZ.  At least Boston had better on-
air imaging and some taxi signs.

All they did in New Haven was slap the syndicated programming on the 
air.  No local news inserts from Providence like they do on WELI 
during non-drivetime.  I bet the local CC sales reps in Boston and 
New Haven never show rate cards and flyers for the progressive 
talkers.

CC will be saying progressive talk doesn't work.  But they will not 
mention their own failures in presenting a progressive talk product.

On other hand, maybe progressive talk radio lacks decent ratings in 
places like Boston and New Haven because moderates and liberals 
prefer other sources like public radio, blogs, daily newspapers (like 
the Globe, Times or Courant), alternative newspapers, etc.
