Clea Simon writes that GreenStone Media (Gloria Steinem, Jane Fonda, etc.) began offering programming (a
female-based talk network) last month and can be heard on WNSH in Beverly

"WNSH, which broadcasts with only 500 watts, had formerly carried other syndicated talk, such as the conservative shows that the station now broadcasts at night. But owner Jack White is happy with the GreenStone shows."

(Jack White? did Keating Willcox sell? actually I think White may be the station mgr., not owner.
More accuracy from the Globe...?)

How much of that programming is local, if any?

 

[raccoonradio]

All of those shows are syndicated. WNSH does have some local content on the weekends including
Doug Mascott Tracks of the Town (local rock), Antonio's Radio Ministrone (standards/Italian singers)
and Portuguese music. Other weekend shows are more conservative talk from TRN and Radio America.

Herald article says there's a female-oriented talk show once a week (Sun. afternoons) on WBIX 1060,
"Boomer Broads with Attitude". Co-host is Janet Prensky formerly of WEEI.
