Well, it'll bring Boston just about up to the same level as Bangor, which 
has about 500,000 fewer people and four --- count 'em, FOUR --- all-sports 
stations (WZON, WDME, WAEI and WAEI-FM), not to mention 10,000-watt WSKW in 
Skowhegan, which reaches Bangor and is only 50 miles away.

The whole enterprise of commercial broadcasting is nuts nowadays, IMHO.

Curmudgeonly yours,
Doug
