Perhaps even more telling is Steve Provizer's comments.  Those of you who 
know Steve know that he was a huge proponent of local media.  But three 
years of Allston-Brighton Free Radio have proven something to him: local 
media for local media's sake makes a nice sound bite but listeners/viewers 
don't care.  That's why ABfree has near-zero listeners - it's content just 
isn't that good, nor is it different enough from other free-form and 
quasi-free-form stations in Boston to attract a niche audience.
