Seems to me that whenever I listened to the station when it was WMEX, 
there weren't all that many calls either.

I'm not sure he had very many.

That was at a different time.  I think there's a lot more interest in 
business, investing, and the stock market now.  I've enjoyed listening to 
WBIX lately in my car.  Trouble is, people can't listen if they don't know 
you're there, and Langer hasn't ever had much of an advertizing budget.
