But they had content for 2/3rds of the day with Andleman and McDonough and
were still barely cracking the ratings. The morning drive show they have on
now is a very good show, I think, and a nice counter-balance to what WEEI is
tossing up there. (Do Dennis and Callahan even talk sports anymore?) I think
the show may have come on too late for the station's good, though.

In NYC, 620 never had a chance. I don't think they had a local show in any
time slot, and the only local broadcasts they had were the Islanders (until
WEPN showed up) and the Brooklyn Cyclones.
