So, by not having Tom and Alan they are not as live (or local)?

Having fewer reporters is making them less live?


I would guess that WBZ is one of the most expensive stations to run in 
Boston...and with the tough times they are going through, can anyone expect 
them NOT to be making some cutbacks?

I would take some smart cutbacks....instead of scrapping the whole format.

Someone on radio-info suggested it's time for CBS to sell WBZ.  Does anyone 
think a new owner is all of the sudden going to start spending money like 
it's going out of style?
