Back in 2007, each Greater Media station was staffed 24/7. When WBOS switched to the jockless "Radio 92.9" approach, it quickly went automated, which in-turn brought a lot of automation to the cluster. Not sure if any of their stations are staffed around-the-clock anymore, but I would doubt it.

Yes -- but there are two larger markets that don't have any 24 hour all-news radio either: #5 Dallas and #9 Atlanta. (I exclude #6 Houston as one is planned to start soon.) Further, WBZ does all-news from morning drive through early evening on weekdays and large parts of the day on weekends. (KRLD Dallas does the same re all-news, at least on weekdays.) I don't think #10 Boston is all that badly served in this area at all. Atlanta is clearly the Top 10 market with the least all-news radio. (WSB in morning drive only, and I think that's about it.)

Update Atlanta Now has a 24 hour all news station WYAY.
