Don't know...in the meantime, longtime Boston talk host Lovell Dyett has passed on http://boston.cbslocal.com/2012/05/29/wbz-radio-legend-lovell-dyett-passes-away-at-77/ >>Lovell Dyett, a longtime talk show host on WBZ NewsRadio 1030, has passed away after a long illness. He was 77. Dyett was noted throughout his life for being an erudite speaker, devoted community activist, and renowned television and radio broadcaster. Throughout the late 1960′s, Dyett worked on the campaign to elect Edward Brooke (R-MA) as the first African American U.S. Senator, and was an organizer and director of the campaign that elected Tom Atkins Boston’s first black City Councilor. Dyett enjoyed stints at WGBH-TV, WBZ-TV, and the former WNAC-TV, and began his WBZ NewsRadio 1030 career on Sunday, December 3, 1971 as host of “The Lovell Dyett Program.” It was billed as a “telephone-talk show that dealt with all issues affecting the black community,” but it turned out to be much more. For nearly 40 years, Dyett covered topics and issues that affected people of all walks of life, discussing topics that were often times contentious, like busing and the desegregation of Boston’s schools, and sometimes uncomfortable, such as interviews with former members of the Ku Klux Klan....Dyett will be greatly missed by not only those who knew him personally, but also by those whose lives he touched over the airwaves of WBZ, where he ended each show by quoting Duke Ellington: “I love you – I love you madly.”

Dyett worked to get consevative radio talk show host David Brudnoy fired at WBZ. It worked for a while, but Brudnoy got his job back. Dyett & Brudnoy borh worked at WBZ together at the time. Dyett woked with elements of the radical left in Boston to run Brudnoy off the air. Dyett was a typical race-hustler. He was NO conservative.
