1260 conservative talk: If you know The Answer, hit your Buzz-er

[Bob Nelson]

1260 will be business news, that was the "Buzz" around town, so when WBIX
1260
(I almost typed "1060") hit the air earlier today, we were sure to get Wall
St Journal Report stuff, right? Well, maybe that'll be a part of it
somehow, but the website and on air signal instead point to conservative
talk. That means the usual secular hosts heard on Salem's "Answer" stations
like their 1250 in Pittsburgh: Bill Bennett,
Mike Gallagher, Dennis Praeger, Michael Medved, and Hugh Hewitt plus
Salem's townhall.com news. The nickname is The Buzz, though, so if you know
the Answer, hit your buzz-er.

"Watercooler talk just got smarter" is one slogan. Where's the financial
news? It seems to be part of the website at least and maybe it'll be part
of the programming somehow; the same hosts were tried by Salem some years
ago on WTTT 1150 (the station whose website had a lovely picture of the
city skyline...Baltimore...Oops!)

No local hosts, unlike the Pittsburgh operation where Rose Tennant (ex War
Room) at least gets two hours (and apparently doesn't take phone calls, as
I noticed when spending a week or so in the 'burgh in August). So true-blue
Boston has conservative talk on 680, 1030 (Rea), 1430, 1510, and now 1260.
The election is coming up, folks, and so far nothing resembling prog talk
on commercial radio.

Given Salem's political views, Stephanie Miller fans shouldn't hold their
breath hoping she'll turn up there.
