WBZ Convention Coverage

[rogerkirk]

Frequently, I hear WBZ tout itself as THE Convention Station.  Yet, for the last two nights, (while driving home from work between 10:00 and 11:30) I heard Paul Sullivan and guests yak up a storm, but to actually hear the speeches (Ron Reagan Jr, Theresa Heinz, etc.), I had to tune to WRKO (Oh, the humanity!)(thanx Bill-O).  In fact, last night WBZ switched to a live CBS feed for John Glenn's melodramatic "thank YOU Minnesota for deferring to the Great State of Ohio! We hereby (yada yada) cast our 159 votes for that Great Senator from Massachusetts - John Kerry!!!" climax to the nomination process.

Naively, I expected to hear it all.  Does WBZ not have its own floor feed?
