As someone who has at least 3 brain cells to rub, I take exception to your 
comment.  I listen to talk radio regularly.  I listen to WBZ for news and 
WRKO for entertainment.  I've tried to listen to WTTK on several occasions, 
most notably last week when I actually gave it a full day.  Although they 
have the best sounding signal (and the only signal of the bunch that I can 
get in my concrete and steel office bunker) they sound like a bad AM 
daytimer with a bunch of lame shows.

I noticed that they're promoting "Imus in stereo".  Is the feed out of NYC 
in stereo or are, as I suspect, they just calling it stereo because they've 
left their pilot on?

If the corporate parents of WBZ and WRKO would get off their collective 
asses and get the signals on the web, those of us who wish to listen to 
talk but work indoors could listen at work.
