Hippo Press (NH Weekly Newpaper) Guide to local radio

[radiotony]

Amy Diaz did this piece. She does really amusing movie reviews. However,
thou must protest that she considers Boston stations "local" to Concord,
Manchester, and Nashua. She could have done the communities a service and
listed local radio stations and done more than just list a paragraph for
each station. It would have made for a better article. 

Best,

The Hippo Press has as their cover story this week a Guide to Local Radio.

My review:

Fair to yuk!

A few strange ommissions:  
on FM, no listing for WMKK 93.7 and WCRB 102.5 (no I didn't help edit the
piece); on AM, WCAP 980 Lowell not included, but they DID include WBIX! Duh.

This is news to me..."all radio stations announce their call letters five
minutes before and five minutes after the hour".  


WNNW-AM 800 bills itself as Boston's only Hispanic radio station?
Even with it new daytime power, there must several parts of the rapidly
depopulating Hub that can't get it...and between them, WRCA and WUNR appear
to provide full-time programming en Espanol (maybe other languages on
weekends).

WMJX-FM ranked 15th in Boston?  Don't let Don Kelley see it...
est probably didn't prepare him for that!
