Somewhat OT: Times Co. threatens to shutter Boston Globe.

[Dave Tomm]

My personal favorite was Leiser Sound, a small mom & pop electronics  
store chain that used to tag all their radio spots with "Leiser Sound,  
with stores in Norwich and Groton, CT and Shrewsbury, Mass, where  
SPAGS is next to Leiser!  They may have had a Hartford area store at  
one point as well, but they were mostly an Eastern CT/Central MA  
advertiser.

Those spots ran all the time in the Worcester, Norwich, New London and  
Willimantic area stations in the 80's and early 90's.
