Is WBZ the only TV and AM left in New England?

[Doug Drown]

I don't think there are many of the old radio-TV combos left ANYWHERE in the 
U.S. anymore.  Outside WBZ, the only ones that come to my mind (right off 
the top of my head, admittedly,) are WGN in Chicago; WSB in Atlanta; WTMJ in 
Milwaukee; KSL in Salt Lake City; WBAL in Baltimore; the other 
CBS/Westinghouse O&Os; and the former ABC O&Os, the radio components of 
which are now owned by Citadel, of course, which is kinda-sorta connected to 
ABC.

After 25+ years I'm still miffed that GE sold WGY and WRGB, to say nothing 
of later unloading the NBC Radio O&Os and the entire radio network.  Never 
should have happened.
