Paul Harvey, Good Night?

[Doug Drown]

The even more curious thing is why WBZ decided not to continue its
affiliation with ABC.  Anyone care to speculate?  I'm wondering if it may
have something to do with the new "CBS Radio" moniker that has replaced
Infinity.   Does 'BZ now plan to tout itself as Boston's CBS station?   It
never really has.
