WGBH vs WBUR

The Boston Globe article ignores a couple things. Not sure why.

When WGBH went all news, it didn't "forsake classical music and jazz programming that had defined it for decades." It continued the classical programming by acquiring the assets of WCRB, and changing the station to a non-commercial classical operation. It also put WCRB programming on the larger WGBH HD2 signal. So WGBH has maintained its service to the classical community, while also providing news and information on its original frequency.

It should also be pointed out that at one time, WBUR also did jazz and classical music with news and information. WBUR began eliminating music programming years before WGBH. The single format approach proved to be more successful.
 
which must mean they're paying Eagan the same amount, right? After all, a good liberal institution like WGBH must be all about equal pay for women....

Very few stations are "ALL NEWS" ;-)

WEEI AM 590 CBS was all news...but they still had some weekend talk/sports....and even drama (Mystery Theater).

The only "ALL NEWS" stations I can think of are in New York.
 
Lots of talk and feature shows in addition to the news.As for all TALK stations in town, there's now only WRKO,
WBIX (some biz talk shows) and WKOX as WMEX is gone. (WXKS am is biz news and talk).RKO is highest rated of these (i.e., of the ALL-talk stations despite relatively low ratings overall.

WBZ, WBUR and WGBH are part news, part talk.

In sports talk there's EEI and sports hub, but we're calling them sports talk, and they too have something else as well--sports play by play.
