What's the deal with AM drive on Boston radio? L&W seem to be getting
the job done - and they are funny. Funny and radio in the same
sentence...what a concept. WBZ is keeping the news deal going on. I've
been out of the market for six years now but visit often. I used to look
forward to spinning the dial of AM drive. Now, it's almost not worth
the digital exercise. What seems to be missing is rock solid name
recognition, king-makers, local icons on Boston radio. And am I
jaundiced in my view that it is intentional? Keeps salaries down. And
because the new breed of broadcasters never worked in the radio kitchen,
just the counting room.
