WBUR lashes out at WGBH

[markwa1ion@aol.com]

If WBUR goes wobbly and has to downsize, it would be good if Bob 
Bittner could pick up 1240 in West Yarmouth for some kind of fire-sale 
price.  The "oldsters" of Hyannis, Yarmouth, and Dennis - I think this 
would be over 50% of the citizenry there - would gobble up a format of 
standards, Broadway, big band, pre-1964 pop/rock oldies, etc.  Maybe 
old-time radio dramas, comedy, and variety could be inserted sometimes 
too (as WNBP does, or did).  Just a thought - and a hope.

The Globe ( 4-16) looks at the war between WBUR and WGBH and at first 
glance
WGBH is winning as 90.9 is bleeding listeners.

WBUR management is fuming that Boston can only support one public radio
outlet and GBH stole our format.
