"Progressive Talk" and their not-so-up-to-date weather reports

... late this afternoon (4 or 5, I forget), I had on 1430 AM and the weather report was from the morning.. Justin Weiner mentioned it was the morning.. it had been raining like crazy all afternoon, hail, etc.. and his report said cloudy, chance of showers. You'd think they might update those weather reports every so often...
 
You won't have to deal with these false reports much longer.
 
Yeah I hear that station's about to get a whole lot more local.

Even Clear Channel is realizing you just can't grab a signal, put it on auto-pilot and expect success.

They need local content ... and they're about to get it.
 
OK what's going on?

1430 is a simulcast of 1200 which is going to 50kW in the near future making the simulcast unnecessary.
 
Don't hold your breath waiting for the great 1200 power boost. I went over to the Sawmill Brook Parkway transmitter site last week, and not a blade of grass had been turned. Perhaps some electronic work is being done in the blockhouse that's not visible from the road...but the question is: can they erect the new towers and test them before winter?

I once heard that the Saw Mill Brook Parkway was originally supposed to be a secondary highway planned to run from somewhere around the Route 128 and Route 135 intersection by the Needham/Dedham line up to Chestnut Hill in Newton and perhaps beyond, possibly into Brighton or over to Cambridge, but conservationists and residents put a stop to it, so you have a divided secondary highway that's only about a mile long and doesn't go anywhere at either end.
