RE: WBZ using CBS news on overnights?

["Mike Fitzpatrick" <fitzradio@map.com>]

On WCBS (AM)'s Website ( http://www.cbsnewyork.com  Not www.wcbs.com which
leads you to some buisness website), they don't mention anything about The
Weather Channel, And Just to "kick it up a notch", On the Weather Channel's
site is a link to ABCNews.com!
