On WRKO, Hub of Hicks gets the news from the big city
As the Boston Herald reported yesterday, Entercom-owned Boston radio station AM-680 WRKO has canned its entire newsstaff. Now the news are delivered by Fox News Radio, “Live from New York” as the feed happily informs WRKO’s listeners in the Puritan hinterlands. It annoys me, it really does. It cheapens WRKO. What’s next? A drive-time talker out of Chicago? “Call now to talk about Daley and Da Bears!”
WRKO is reportedly getting ready to shake up its roster of talkers to turn around sagging ratings and take advantage of the audience boost that will come when the station starts broadcasting Boston Red Sox games next year.
