Yes,WIRY has been like that ever since I discovered it for the first time a
few years back.Not many stations these days read the police log,report
obituaries,etc.Be sure to listen to them at 9:05 AM,and 5:45 PM(also 1:05
PM when no Yankees or other sports)for a call in show titled"Lost and
Found"where listeners are invited to call in if they've lost/found
dogs,cats,license plates,parakeets,eyeglasses(all of which I've heard
called in in past editions) the show runs 7 days and runs for 5 min each
time,the intro and outro to the show is worth it too!!They have a fair
share of local spots running all day,even a few late at night also.
