>In Boston area there’s easy listening WJIB AM 740, a one man operation with a cult following. Listener supported with donations. He refuses to streamcast for cost reasons but covers some areas with an FM translator (101.3)
That sounds like a cool station. Around 20 years ago, Reno had a small AM station that broadcast Alex Jones. That’s back when NV was red. The station was bought and now it’s a spanish language station. Now we have a Faux talk station on FM out of Carson City and the standard AM blather from the Reno station.
Ironically the man I was talking about with the unique stations died earlier today. Bob Bittner...
Many of us are turning to streaming for talk shows.
It costs them less than buying stations to run these shows. You can travel and hear a Boston talk show in western PA—and they run local (PA) ads in, make money.
