LOWELL -- In hiring well-known public-radio talkmeister Christopher Lydon
for $12,500 a month, UMass Lowell says its getting much more than a locally
produced radio program.

Does this sound right to anyone?

12.5/mos = 150k a year....

If it IS true, it sound like the station OWNS the show...which doesn't sound
like the "Lydon plan".

Or is Lydon going to be their General Manager, Prodgram Director or chief
fund-raiser?

Is U Lowell under the (mistaken) impression that WUML could become another
WBUR?
