I think AM broadcasts in a geographically narrow band, so Boston stations broadcast north and south instead of east and west, where half of the signal would be lost at sea. I can barely pick up RKO on my car radio at 495 and the Pike.
Jay Severin ticks me off. I go back and forth listening to him - can't take him for a coupla months and so I listen to Howie, get sick of Howie and I turn on Severin. Severin lost it during the Mexican immigration issue last month. He literally screamed and ranted against Bush and said he'd never vote for him. He kind of lost it there. I've been tuning in a bit to him lately because he is against the "homo marriage" (his words) - which surprises me. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
