Actually there are 2 non-Mass outlets..

The Howie Net (to my knowledge) is...


WRKO/680AM-Boston (Flagship)
WPRO/630AM-Providence RI
WXTK/95.1FM-West Yarmouth MA
WNNZ/640AM-Westfield MA
WTSN/1270AM-Dover NH

I actually enjoy Howie Carr more often than not...

I think most people that have a "strong" dislike of Howie tend to be
left-of-center, politically, just my opinion.
