The thing that annoyed me about 1080 was the CBS TDS national news feeds on the breaks.
Yup. Although one of the news readers/reporters (John Silva) isn't too bad. I think the WTIC news readers who do the reports at the top and bottom of the hour are based locally, until about midnight when WTIC switches to the national CBS news.
All CT radio stations that I know of air some form of leftist national news at the top of each hour. WJMJ in Hartford (Catholic radio) has the truly awful ABC national news for their news breaks. Their newscasts are to the *left* of CBS' news reports!
Give WHYN 560 AM a try, if you can get it. At the top of each hour, they air the national news via Fox News.
And WHYN airs the very funny Howie Carr M-F at 3:00pm. My only complaint about his show are the insane number of commercials. I think he has more ads than any other conservative talk show host on air these days.
