Re: WBIX...in it's present form.

When Langer started his 1060 WMEX "grand experiment" trying to program some
quality talk
shows, such as Gene Bruns, I was hoping against hope that that Langer would
succeed in this.
It sure beat most of the alternatives, like 680, IMHO (Rush, Howie, Dr.
Laura, midnight-shift
syndicated UFO guy...etc). But of course that failed.
