Changes In WBZ Radio's News Presentation

[Doug Drown]

There's a Clear Channel station here in Maine that uses a bed of rumbling
drums and brass throughout each of its local drive-time newscasts, as if to
reinforce ("This is the news.  It's really important, so listen up!").  I
find it very irritating --- it not only insults listeners' intelligence,
it's distracting.
