Boston's Conservative Talk AM 1150 changes to Spanish Language Religion
radio-info.com Boston board ^ | 1/28/08 | raccoonradio

Posted on 01/28/2008 9:31:42 AM PST by raccoonradio

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)

oh look who WDIS AM 1170 has:
7:00 a.m -9:00 a.m. Bill Bennett's Morning in America
9:00 a.m - 11:00 a.m Brian and the Judge
11:00 a.m - 12:00 p.m Mike Gallagher

(Brian and the Judge is from FoxNewsRadio: Brian Kilmeade and Judge Andrew Napolitano; I have heard it before overnights via WBAL in Baltimore)

Signal:

I can't pick them up here in Beverly because a translator station for WUMB folk radio comes in across the water from the Cape (Orleans)

I just wish WTKK would dump Michelle McPhee. I cannot stand the sound of her voice.

Not to mention the caliber of her thinking. "McCain-Feingold is not anti-First Amendment" Uh OK, Michelle you dunce.

This is what I'd like to see:

Unfortunately, if what Greater Media says is to be believed,
the Corpse In A Cowboy hat gets good ratings and ad money
for them. Quack quack.

Oh, I’m a realist. If their current line-up makes them money then that’s what we’ll get. Of course, I won’t be tuning in; but that’s OK since I don’t buy from the CounterTopShop or have a PerfectSmile, etc. :)

Yeah—I would have tuned in to Howie on ‘TKK had it not been for the judge’s decision, but I do listen for Laura I.
and Phil Hendrie.

I actually enjoy Jim “the red” Braude. He may be an uber-lberal but he a great sense of humor. Margery....ugh. She sounds like her tongue is stuck to the roof of her mouth.

Not only does Jay have a lot of music and commercials, he takes an awful lot of vacations.

I was wondering who ruined my mornings with Bill Bennett!

I stream KRLA sometimes to listen to Bill and to Laura.

What’s the best option for satellite radio (Sirius or XM) for Bennett, Hannity and Hewitt? Are the two channels going to merge?

Still no decision on the proposed merger. I don’t have either
satellite service so I don’t know whom to recommend (closest I got was being able to hear XM while on a Jet Blue flight to LA). Some
of the better known hosts can be heard on sat-radio.

Just went to XM’s site: “America Right” has Liddy,
Ingraham, Hannity, Mark Levin, Rusty Humphries,
Michael Reagan. XM’s FoxNewsTalk has O’Reilly, Brian
and the Judge, and John Gibson. Sirius has FoxNewsTalk, too.

Ah: here we go. Sirius Patriot has Bill Bennett,
Hannity, Levin, Liddy, etc.

I can barely pull in 1170 on the lower end of route 128 in the morning. There’s too much static. do I need a new radio (or better antenna - I have a permanent outside whip type)

Alternately, are there radio stations (other than KRLA) that stream that carry Bennett in the Morning?

WKGA in Atlanta should run Bennet!

Unfortunately from what I can tell WKGA is now a country music station (not that there is anything bad with that, but it is not Bennett in the Morning). I would use KRLa except I can’t figure out how to get it to work on my PPC 6700 (Pocket PC).

I wish that WTKK had not gotten on the Imus bandwagon again. That man simply refuses to recognize that he is all washed up.

I only get to listen to AM radio in the morning for 10 minutes or so. I thought that Michael Graham was a lot better when he was on at that hour.

No matter, the next President will sign onto the new “fairness doctrine” and we can all have salsa music on every channel all day long.

I got KRLA streaming to work on my WM5 cellphone. The URL to type into Windows Media Player is mms://uni1.salem.streamaudio.com/krla_am

Hopefully they are still broadcasting Bennett in the Morning

Next up - finding one that stream Sean Hannity - I assume WABC does - now I just have to find how to work it with a Pocket PPC

OK, WABC does have Sean Hanity and tehy do stream. The URL for the Windows Mobile 5 media player is:

mms://mmslb.eonstreams.com/abc_ny_newyork_wabc_am_fast

Obviously you need an unlimited data plan for your cellphone or this would probably be as expensive as getting satellite radio

Someone on the Save Progressive Radio Boston yahoo group
(a group which has so far been unsuccessful in bringing
back Air America since 12/06) posted an anti-religious
bit when they revealed WTTT’s format change. At least
the reply showed some sense and civility. The original
poster designed by >:

> Starting today (01/28) WTTT-AM 1150 switched from non-stop right-wing
> talk shows to Spanish-language ignorance and superstition, sometimes
> called “religion”.

Is there any doubt as to why progressives are not received well?

>>People who
>>believe that 2,000 years ago some guy pranced out of a tomb, flew into
>> the sky and will be back any minute now can be led to believe anything.

Do you have to be this disrespectful to your fellow man to be a Progressive?
