Bad news for fans of Boston fans of Bill Bennett, Dennis Praeger, Mike Gallagher, Sean Hannity, Michael Medved, and Hugh Hewitt: WTTT AM 1150 has apparently changed its format from conservative talk to Spanish language religion. Salem Communications also owns WEZE AM 590 and WROL AM 950 in town but I don't believe any of the shows will wind up there (we'll see). Boston still has WRKO AM 680 (mostly conservative), WTKK FM 96.9 (mostly conservative), and WBZ 1030 at night (middle of the road)
I’m SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell ya.
Dan Strassberg, a local radio expert, says: “Most likely at 12:01 AM today, WTTT 1150 AM flipped from Salem Communications’ conservative talk network to what I presume to be CCM (contemporary Christian Music) en Espanol. From what I can tell (and remember, I don’t speak Spanish, so a lot of this is pure guesswork), the programming is a simulcast of an FM 105.5 in Miami, which must call itself Radio Luz (which sounds a lot like Radio Lose to these monolingual ears). Radio Lose would be an apt moniker for the majority of the formats that have graced the Boston 1150 frequency for decades. Still, I don’t believe that, as an ideolically driven ultra-right-wing talker, WTTT managed to capture the Boston market crown for fewest listeners per watt. That award probably still goes to 50 kW WWZN 1510.”
The station did not show up in the “12 plus” ratings
but kept a conservative talk format going for awhile.
Well at least Hannity fans might be able to get him on
WGIR 610 Manchester NH and WHJJ AM 920 in Providence. Unless
WRKO or WTKK somehow picks him up.
I was wondering who ruined my mornings with Bill Bennett!
This stinks!
Funny, it didn’t make the news when Air America changed to Musica Mexico.
Land of liberals, state mandated Planned Parenthood run health care, flip-floppers, football cheaters, and wimps,....what do you expect???
I just wish WTKK would dump Michelle McPhee. I cannot stand the sound of her voice. I wonder why they’ve cut Monica Crowley’s show down to one hour?
Well, there were small items in the Herald and Globe saying that WXKS and WKOX would dump AAR for “Rumba” back in Dec
of ‘06 (and local radio expert, and liberal, Donna Halper
heard from someone at Clear Channel a couple weeks in advance of the change).
Right when WKOX and WXKS changed, an effort was launched to bring “progressive talk” back. 13 months later, it’s still
unsuccessful. I don’t know if Salem’s lineup would wind up
elsewhere or not (Hannity, again, can be heard in NH
and RI). I don’t know if a “Save Boston’s Conservative Talk”
effort could be launched!
I doubt they’d dump her so soon after launching her show
(she started earlier this month). Can’t take her voice, either,
though at least they’re doing local talk at night.
Same thing happened in Denver recently, from Salem to Spanish on AM 1650. It really $ucks.
I rarely listen to the car radio but happened to be searching for a decent channel yesterday and couldn’t believe the amount of Mexican channels there were. The invasion has is nearly complete.
That figures. I have never seen a state or place that supports that murderer Kennedy like these people do.
“Boston’s Conservative Talk AM 1150 changes to Spanish Language Religion”
Romneys’ fault/s
Kinda tells you something about where our national identity is headed doesn’t it?
With her heavy Bahstin accent I’m sure she plays well to some. As soon as I hear her I tune out or turn off.
Something for his groundskeepers to listen to :)
Libtalk fans in Boston, who still don’t have Air America,
probably figure that there’s too much conservative talk in town as it is. Basically the same thing just happened
to us as what happened to them: tuning in to hear your
fave host and you get espanol instead.
Let’s hope they’re preaching the Gospel of self-deportation to all of those illegal alien listeners in their target audience.

Oops, dept. of redunduncy dept. I meant “bad news
