Again, please get specific. 

WCBS News88 doesn't sound too much different than it did back then....and as Gary pointed out WINS still has an ancient teletype sound and trumpet theme.  This is in the most competitive

Ask them about ANY station on the AM dial.

Plenty of 20-35's don't value news...or if they do, they just want headlines in a much broader format.  All news has ALWAYS been an upper-demo format  (not one that's grabbing all the 20-35 year olds).

I said this in a previous post.  There is a lot of "WBZ-hate" going around on the internet.  For all I know, it's 2 or 3 people over and over again.

Not sure what specific things you are talking about....as your post is just generic piling on.

WBZ is still one of the great AM stations in all of New England...and one of the few reasons to flip to AM.  Bot sure what your problem is with it.
