WRKO loses Fox news, picks up ABC

[raccoonradio]

The other day I thought I heard the theme for ABC on WRKO on the half hour...and now someone posted on Free Republic:

>>No more FOX news on RKO, now ABC News - WTH???? WTH????

Well it looks like the last vestige of Premiere Radio is gone from WRKO. You'll remember that they lost Rush, Beck, Coast to Coast, Bill Cunningham, etc. with the debut of WXKS 1200.
Owned by Clear Channel whose Premiere has those shows, plus Fox News and I think
Fox Sports Radio, too (There is a "Fox News Talk" network with shows like Brian Kilmeade
and John Gibson but that's a separate company)

For awhile both WRKO and WXKS were running Fox News--on the latter, some local headlines
then some Fox News. But as I said above it's apparently gone--no doubt pulled by
CC/Premiere and is now on WXKS only. So they must have picked up ABC news.

In the past I remember ABC news being on WRKO, also on WBZ. WRKO was also briefly
a CBS affiliate (now WBZ of course)

To this day...when I think of news on WRKO...I think of WRKO 20/20 news....

I remember some of their intros like one from either the 90s or this decade (prob the 90s)
that had someone like Dana Hersey saying the names of their talk hosts as Prince's
"Controversy" intro played; then someone like Listo Fisher would come on.

Here's one. 1998.

A 1994 clip on same site leads into NBC so they were affil with them too
