A reminder for Boston area...the signal is OK by day (in Boston itself I was getting it well at night on Sat.) and by night, well, depends where one is. Inevitably there will be some today who tune to WRKO 680 expecting Rush and finding Charley Manning instead (Scott Brown and Deval Patrick will be guests) but Clear Channel has tried to spread the word of its admittedly RUSHed opening.
And yes the joke at the start was...mine...
Rush at noon to start it off (Beck fans must wait till tomorrow), Sean at 3, Jason Lewis at 6, Mark Levin at 9 (Lewis gets priority because he's a Clear Channel/ Premiere product, while Levin, from Citadel, will be on a 3 hour delay, "thank me very much". Then Coast to Coast which has already run for a few weeks.

Schadenfreude moment: AM 1200 in Boston was the home to Air America Boston, which limped along for two years of bad ratings and nonexistent billing before the plug was pulled. Libtalk fans were told that someday the transmitter would be moved from Framingham to Newton and the signal would be boosted to 50,000 watts. That has happened..but the lineup now on AM 1200 isn't exactly Stephanie Miller, Ed Schulz, or Thom Hartmann...ha
