Steve Mason Out At WXBR Brockton

[Mark Watson]

  Steve Mason, morning host at WXBR Brockton (1460, formerly WBET) was let 
go from the station after finishing his show Monday morning, apparently the 
victim of cost-cutting by the station's owners. Mason was with WBET from 
1984 to 1996, and returned to the station in 2004. News Director Kevin Tocci 
will continue with live local newscasts in AM drive, and the "network 
programming" of the past will continue. If one reads between the lines, 
seems that Mason is being replaced by "birdfeed", although the article in 
the Brockton Enterprise does not specifically state if that's indeed the 
case.
