WBIX--what gives?

["Strassberg, Dan (Cahners)" <ednstrassberg@cahners.com>]

I tuned in to AM 1060 at 8:30 this morning expecting to catch WBIX's Boston
Business Journal AM Report with Dave Anthony and Brad and Bonnie Bleidt. Mr
and Mrs Bleidt's financial-managment firm has been LMAing 1060 Monday thru
Friday from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM (or, in winter months, from local sunrise to
Philadelphia sunset). What I heard instead was the satellite delivered
Bloomberg On the Money--apparently uninterrupted by any local
content--straight through until 9:00, when an unfamiliar voice did the legal
ID and announced that the following was an "encore presentation" of the
locally originated Bailey and Stein show.

Have the Bleidts decided that they could no longer afford to plow more money
into their radio venture? Did they miss a payment to station owner Alex
Langer? Has Langer sold the station and terminated the Bleidt's LMA? Have
the employees unionized and gone out on strike? Was there some technical
difficulty that interrupted the feed from the Boston studios (in the
Bleidts' North End offices) to the Framingham TX? Inquiring minds want to
know.
