Yeah ironically enough the call letters for that station are WBCN which for years were on the progressive/alternative rock legend in Boston (Charles Laquidara would run an ad for Honeywell then blast them for making war materials).
-—The following Boston Herald article is about Rush’s
replacement on WRKO. Comments to it were not kind (...Gov. Patrick? And thousands of dials spin to 1200...) As for getting “both sides of the aisle” in as guests, rest assure, he will have plenty of Democrats to choose from here...—

Longtime Republican consultant Charley Manning kicks off his new radio show today with U.S. Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) as his first scheduled guest, followed by Gov. Deval Patrick.
Manning is vowing to feature pols from both sides of the aisle while staying true to his conservative roots. The show airs from noon to 3 p.m. on WRKO-AM 680.
“I’m a conservative for sure, but I think it’s great to be able to have experienced political hands and office-holders come on to answer questions of the voters,” said Manning, 57. “This is a chance to really speak to the people, and that’s why I’m throwing out the welcome mat to everybody.”
Manning replaces Rush Limbaugh, who can now be heard on WXKS-AM 1200.
“Charley has shown he can communicate with people on both sides of the aisle,” said communications consultant Marjorie Arons-Barron. “His success says a lot for the potential for healing in Massachusetts.”
