This is a very bad move

It's not good business to tick off the WRKO faithful.
"Entercom's WRKO AM 680 which sacked its news department yesterday will now be getting its local news/weather/sports updates from Metro/Shadow Broadcasting group which already provides traffic reports on the Talk Station. The station will also run national Fox News Radio alerts at the top of the hour."
" To say WRKO will be better off without a news department while it "beefs up" its talk programming is an insult to its already-furious listenership. The Red Sox surely must now be wondering how they could have become burdened with such a profoundly troubled and disorganized station. Newspapers and television stations are having a field day reporting on WRKO's daily disasters. It's an early holiday gift for WTKK."
