Axe falls on WRKO news Dept.

[Dan Strassberg]

Doesn't Metro (Traffic) do local news--at least in some markets? IIRC, maybe
18 months ago, for a period of maybe two weeks, WKOXKS were doing 60 seconds
of local news on the half-hour. I'm pretty sure it came from Metro. IIRC,
some of the same voices I've heard doing traffic.
