CBS sacks WBCN for all-sports Boston station

In a major shake-up to the local radio landscape, CBS Radio is pulling the plug on legendary Boston rock station WBCN-FM (104.1) and is switching off the music for the first time in its colorful history in favor of sports.

O&A were booted off there. It was one of their last affiliates. In all fairness to them, rock stations with "morning shows" are dying out. They're being replaced by teenybopper shit. And hopefully satellite can hang in there and become the home of good talk programming.

I hope so too. Sattelite is the only platform left for good talk radio IMO. Except for maybe one internet show that should be on satelitte.
