They are probably trying to expand the age of their listeners, which I 
imagine is still mostly people 30+ (except for Stern's perhaps>?)   That's 
when I started listening to talk,  late at night to WBZ, and then somehow 
WRKO really got me hooked.   However, I hate most of their lineup now, and 
hardly ever listen, except for a couple of their weekend shows.  I prefer 
entertainment to serious issues most of the time, but it depends on who the 
hosts are (and the issues).  I'm glad there will be some new options.  I used 
to listen to Jerry Williams back when my car only had AM.  Repeal the 
Seatbelt law!!!!! (just kidding)

   Actually, I used to really enjoy Tai's show, since he is my age and it was 
interesting to hear his opinions on things, and his memories of the same 
stuff that I grew up with.  Anyone know his whereabouts?
