WBZ has lots of amateurish-sounding spots...way too many voiced by clients 
(those for Nina's Lighting are especially bad...bordering on 
unintelligible).  I'm sure the most-listened to station in New England can 
afford a good production staff, so it must be by design.  Something I find 
especially annoying is when they give the expiration date of an offer in a 
spot, they always seem to say it as "nine-fourteen-oh-two" instead of 
giving the date in a manner that normal people would use.  Can't imagine 
it's THAT much faster to say it that way.
