WCAP potted up the anchored feed from ABC from 5-6.  Switching back to BZ,
they ran CBSs anchored which seemed to lack the same presence.  ABC will
likely keep up its :01 and :31 (and I think :50 drops done by the Direction
anchor).  BZ seemed to use them as well as WINS last night.  ABC anchored
(Sedat 51) incorporated their live reports within the feed.  Well done, IMO.
Only question is, if locals like WCAP don't go to the bird for coverage and
WBZ opts down to CBSs, then where can you hear ABC Radio?
