>>>"Local feel" is often lacking too.

DJ's of  earlier times like Bill Marlowe on the adult-pop side and the 
'60s WBZ  stable of DeSuze, Maynard, Kaye, Bradley, and Summer just 
aren't falling  out of the trees these days.

Some stations can be good jukeboxes, but  where's the Marlowe-like 
exuberance over a killer sax solo, Jeffy Kaye  being deeply informed 
about folk music on his Hootenanny, Dick Summer  rallying "Nightlighters 
Against Gutlessness" after the murder of a woman  in NY in front of 
witnesses who did nothing, or DeSuze trying to pick up  everyone's 
spirits during a miserable snowstorm or after a crushing defeat  of the 
Sox ?<<<<<
 
The problem is local stations don't have that "local feel" either.   Where 
would a new crop of quality talent come from when there isn't a place to  
develop a style. Kids today can't run up to Maine and NH anymore and work at  
a one KW AM station to gain experience the way you did back in the day. 
 
There are still broadcasting schools out there and  Communications Degrees 
aplenty. Why?
