Which adds up to 33 hours of local talk a day, which has got to put 
Boston very much in the top tier of talk radio cities!

With WABC's nearly all-syndie schedule now (Imus, Rush, Hannity, Levin, 
etc.), and WOR as the only real talk competition in the city, there's no 
way NYC's total adds up to anything even close, and the picture in 
Philadelphia and DC is even more bleak. LA is worse yet.

I haven't added up the numbers, but I'd guess Chicago (pretty much all 
day local on WGN, plus strong local content on WLS) and San Francisco 
(all local on KGO, plus some local shows on KSFO and KNEW) would 
probably rank second and third in local talk hours, just on a hunch.
