Another one bites the dust

December 31, 2012 marked an end of an era in Boston's radio. After 13 years WTKK 96.9 Talk Radio changed its format from political talk to Hip Hop and R&B.

WTKK used to be the only decent political talk radio in the Boston area. The colorful cast of broadcasters (Jay Severin, Michael Graham, Michael Smerconish, Michael Castner, John Batchelor, Jim Braude and Margery Eagan) made it fun and at times very frustrating to listen to. I am going to miss Michael Graham's daily show. I am also going to miss the Money Show and the Phantom Gourmet on the weekends. The Andelman brothers were histerical.

What used to be a decent radio, the only talk radio on the FM band in the Boston area, is now a base pumping, headache generating trashy station.

Fantastic job Greater Media!
