Well, *second* all-sports station, since 620 WSNR is now only
"Sporting Radio News" when it feels like it. (Strange, but true -- a
"flagship" station that doesn't carry its own network's programming
most of the time.)


Word on the street is that Paul Allen is desperate to find a greater
fool to take the station off his hands. That's why they're brokering
it out -- it wasn't making them anything running SNR, and they want to
get it billing *something* in order to get a decent sale price. (Is
Arthur Liu full up yet?) I think the last SNR O&O that is still
running SNR programming full-time is WWZN Boston, and rumors are
swirling over programming changes there, too. (And Boston probably
costs as much to run as Newark does, thanks to some poor decisions
made by a previous Greater Fool.)
