Even if they get away from the NY-centric attitude (which they already do
when talking about, say, big-time college football, which, outside of
Rutgers in the only marginally big-time Big East, doesn't exist in the NY
market), wouldn't they also have to start talking about politics and current
events to fit on some of the political-talk stations that used to carry
Imus? As I recall, Imus hardly ever talked about sports when he was on WNBC;
sports discussion on the show got started only after WFAN took over 660.
