WBZ cuts Leveille, Cuddy, Dyett, poss. Desmarais

[Blaine Thompson]

I am not sure the bean counters at CBS care much about overnights on
WBZ.  So that is why I (legitimately) suggested CNNHN, since it was
cheapo and newsy.  As I lack cable, I was unaware that the thirty
minute news blocks had gone away in overnights.

I agree with others that this is terrible news.  I typically listen to
either 'BZ or KYW, before snoozing.  Especially in winter, when I wake
up, I usually tune into either WBZ or KYW until they each hit day
pattern.

I am conflicted as to whether they are looking for programming that is
inexpensive AND revenue generating, or just inexpensive.

Glad I was right about BBC World Service, as that programming would
not fit very well on many commercial stations.
