I've gotten into the (bad) habit of checking weather on this station, which runs every 10 minutes.
Gawd's Holy Trousers.... The "news" content is like Samuel Becket met Monty Python. Endless non-sequitur wrapped around totally vapid (think cute puppy news) puff pieces. The occasional house fire reporting, and erectile dysfunction and get rich quick ads every 90 seconds, to break things up.
It used to be a proud, local station. what your parents had on in the kitchen 7x24; where you'd go for local news in a local voice. Now it's just the spewing end of a national sewer pipe.

Larry Glick reruns?
That's desperation.
Alexa, say good bye to WBZ.

Dean Johnson was excellent, they are fools to let him go.
Marissa, she was a little too opinionated and abrasive for my taste.
Josh Binswanger was a sweetheart, very professional.
Bradley and Dan have been extra polite to callers lately, especially the females, lol. I wonder why.
I like Morgan, but I preferred the rotating 3 and appreciated the different styles.
More changes are coming...

Not everyone is interested in nostalgia. Boring!
Marissa DeFranco
Glad she was cut, she was absolutely vile.
