Well, we've got WBZ, which is mostly short and sensational
stories; and then there are a bunch of stations that use Metro
News, which means they all share the same source, and that
source does a pretty poor job, sometimes not even getting basic
facts right.

If you want anything deeper than headlines, WBUR is pretty much
your only choice.


I'm always suspicious of the news on a radio station that is actually
a PC on a desk and a satellite dish on the roof. How can a radio
station have instant local news when there's really NOONE EMPLOYED?

There's 5 stations in one office, here, and only one of them actually
has a talking head live on the air. He's also an automaton because
the computer warns him he has 10 seconds before its his turn to talk
and starts warning him he has 5 seconds to stop before the next row of
12 spots we've all heard a hundred times in the last 8 hours plays
over again.

They don't even have an engineer, any more.....and it shows.
