The general feeling that if their audience wants to tune to music, later,
better they land on Sunny 106 than a different non-owned music station.   It's
their belief that talk radio listeners do music sometimes!   -   Got an even
better one.  When I did middays at WBOS "Disco 93" back in '79,  I had to air
spots for WEEI Newsradio 59.  Actual paid commercials,  and stations not even
commonly -owned!!!!!
