The importance of local talk radio

[Dan.Strassberg]

Bradley came from upstate New York. ISTR hearing that he grew up in
the Utica/Rome area. I remember him at WROW Albany when I was in
college there before he came to Boston. He may have worked in Buffalo
between Albany and Boston. What station did he move to in New York
City? WABC?
