If you've been surveying the various radio sites on the internets today (Tuesday 12/29), you may have
come across a dreadful story about a Republican candidate for US Senator calling himself Andy
Martin. He has accused a Democratic Party candidate of being a closeted homosexual in
ads being run on major Chicago radio stations. If the name 'Andy Martin' doesn't ring a bell,
how about his REAL name: Anthony Martin-Trigona? Scott Fybush chronicled this former owner
of WDLW-AM 1330, Waltham, MA in a Northeast Radiowatch column a little over a year ago.

(scroll down to MASSACHUSETTS NEWS)
"Andy Martin" also got himself and Sean Hannity in hot water during the 2008 presidential
campaign:

In a recent outburst, he has also accused Wikipedia of being a pro-Obama, tax-exempt scam,
possibly because of an unflattering profile of him within that online encyclopedia.
(BTW, the article does NOT include any reference to his ownership of WDLW; feel free
to fix that!)
The Boston Herald has a story about "Andy Martin" on its website, but it does not include his
connection to local media.
