Langer says they're "moving it back" to more of a business station. Anyone have any ideas as to anything that might happen? Or just more midday health shows during market hours?

WBIX-1060 owner Alex Langer should flip the station to Spanish-language programming.
There has been a huge hold for Spanish-language programming since WAMG-890 flipped to ESPN Radio last Summer.
He'll probably make more money that way.

Dead air might be a nice change of pace...

Re: Perfect New WBIX Format
Brad Bleidt is in jail.
From all appearances, it seems like Alex Langer is a very decent man.
Yes, he was taken in by Bleidt when he sold WBIX-1060 to him, but anyone could have been. You can't blame it on Langer. Leave him alone.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by Randy on 01/21/06 01:03 PM.</FONT></P>

Well, 90% of the reason I haven't switched back to listening to 1060 is my XM. XM166 "America Right" plays the Wall Street Journal radio show in the morning and Boston's Charlie Stein (formerly a WBIX host) co-hosts On the Money on Bloomberg's XM129. THEN I can swap over to XM127 CNBC's finance shows with Jim Cramer. The other 10% is signal related. I would have listened more in the past if I could get the signal outside of my car. This isn't an XM commercial, but I was an avid listener of XM when I could. Being a fianace major in college and wanting to DO that end of business, it was a great station in my opinion. But the lack of signal strength kept me from getting totally hooked. XM is feeding that addiction as of now. Would I listen to those shows on 1060 if I could get it in my house/office? Hell yeah! I just can't be bothered with pomegranate juice health shows while I am trying to read about 401k's

Back before Brad Bleidt's financial misdeeds became public knowledge--back when WBIX had a very professional sounding (albeit highly unprofitable) financial-talk format, the station streamed its audio on the Web. Signal problems in your office should not have prevented you from listening. I believe that when the Court appointed Alex Langer as the receiver, the streaming quickly resumed and continues to this day. You should be able to get it on your office PC--that's if there's anything you want to listen to. Penelope Tsougros sounds like a nice lady but her program is nothing more than a half-hour daily infomercial for her financial-services firm. Personally, I can't STAND Stu Taylor. Barry Armstrong is OK. Jim Kramer is OK--if you don't mind his narcissim and self-promotion and take everything he says with a large grain of salt. I forget the name of the guy who is on from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Wicked Boston accent, but his program is nationally syndicated and originates--I think--from Florida. (Same guy who LMAed WSMN before it went dark.) He's OK if you're into day trading, I guess. There's one more "financial" show on weekdays--from 5:00 to 5:30--another infomerical--this one is for gold coins, I think. Several of these programs, including Armstrong's, are also streamed on WBNW's Web site. Interestingly, although Armstrong owns WBNW, WBNW doesn't carry his program. Since the program is heard on WBIX (as well as WESX/WJDA, WPLM, WCRN and many more) he can apparently make more money by leasing the time on WBNW to others.

WBIX streaming didn't stop me from listening to the station from 9-5, company policies and company IT firewalls did.
