WBSM

[farid]

No one ever mentions this station here and I've never heard it but have checked out the website.They do have a live morning show which I assume is comparable to WPRO-AM's.They also apparently have some live blocks during the day.Is this the kind of local news-talker where no local host rocks the boat in any way that would alienate sponsors or certain local politicians and groups.Many local AMs do discuss local issues but management keeps a tighter hold on the directions the hosts go.

The book is embargoed as usual and even if it were not,numbers could not be posted here,but how much of a local force are they?

BSM serves the area beautifully....not really any competion for local content though...WSAR doesn't really come in around New Bedford, and outside of that, there is nothing

But your right...rock the boat, and your ship is sunk if your a talk show host. At times the sponsors are the PD's there
