It was announced on WBZ this morning. I knew it was about to happen 
several weeks ago when WBZ contacted me for biographical info about 
him.  He was a force in the black community with a long track record, 
and whether or not some critics felt he was effective as a talk show 
host, his presence on the air was an important symbol.  At the risk of 
opening a can of worms, WBZ Radio historically had only white male talk 
show hosts (not that there's anything wrong with being white and male), 
so I think a lot of members of the minority community felt it was 
important for Lovell to continue having a show because he presented a 
different perspective.
