Does anybody know which city skyline Boston's Conservative Talk 1150 WTTT ~~shows~~ showed on its Web site? Because it sure isn't Boston's.

Via Laurence Glavin, who adds:

... Isn't it wonderful to have so much absentee ownership that when one of them designs the website of their listener-challenged outlet they can't even bother to find a picture of the City of License? ...

It's a good DAY for Paul Harvey fans

Life just hasn't been the same since 'BZ got rid of Paul Harvey, only 900 years young, to give Carl Stevens more time for his exclusive series: "I Won't Rest Until I Interview Every Last Worcester Resident about the Snow" (immediately followed by Jon Keller's long-running series: "Why Is Every Boston Driver a Jerk in the Snow Except Me?").

In a dramatic bid to increase its listenership among the codger set, NewsTalk 1150 (not to be confused with NewsTalk 96.9) is bringing Harvey's News and Comment back at 10 a.m. weekdays, starting Feb. 6. We eagerly await the rest of the story (oh, wait, I see that's on at 6 p.m.)

Note to our readers in the Greater Fitchburg area: You may be out of luck: Doesn't look like WTTT propagates all that well out there.
