WXKS

Clear Channel's WXKS, 1200 AM, turns into Bloomberg Radio on Friday.

In addition to national and international financial news, Bloomberg Radio says it will provide "local news, traffic, weather and sports."

The Herald confirms a report by Boston Radio Watch that Clear Channel, the owner of WXKS-AM, wants to turn 1200 into a "news/talk" station, in part by figuring out how to get out of its contract with WRKO and get Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck over to the right side of the dial.

Clear Channel is looking for an ad person with experience in "new-talk" (sic) for WXKS-AM.
