Yes...but not for the sentencing, the hearings are about her lack of
judicial restraint from her yelling at DA's and essentially telling clerks
how she was going to rule before any arguments were even made. The Boston
Herald is making her the poster child for Mass's judicial system run
amok...and so far I've been inclined to agree with them. Mindich has not
made things any easier by fighting any release of any relevant documents
tooth and nail, no matter how small it seemed....makes him and his wife
look that much more "guilty".

WWRX (103.7 Westerly/Providence) had a decent following in SE Connecticut
when I was growing up there, back when they were classic rock with Imus in
the morning. I don't know how well it's done since FNX took over but I
know 102.3 went from being WVVE AC "The Wave" to WAXK rock-alternative and
that didn't do well, now they're something else that's still rock but less
like FNX I think. The problem with the rock-alternative demo in SE CT has
always been that there's a huge audience in the male 18-25 demo thanks to
the Sub base right there...but those guys never buy much off-base when the
Commissary is so much cheaper. So getting advertising is tough.
