[Blindtlk] [OT]All-News Radio Stations

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Dave,

I believe they are, as Erin Reykoff, who used to be the news 
director for WPOC in Baltimore is now working for a station in 
Pitsburgh, which is one of the first radio stations to ever be 
aired back when radio was invented.  I think that station is KQV.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

Personally I think public radio has it all over commercial radio 
for
news -- and I used to work as a news writer, for an all-news 
station,
at the start of my career, KQV in Pittsburgh, PA.  Don't know if 
they
are still doing news, doubt it, pretty expensive for a low-watt
AM.  Our public station carries the BBC World Service overnight,
which I very much enjoy.

Hi, everyone.



To the extent that the blind satisfy the stereotype of radio 
junkies, the
following question is blindness-related - barely.



I, at least, *am* a news junkie.  I have all the "All-news" radio 
stations of
which I know programmed into ooTunes on my iPhone.  These are the 
various CBS
radio all-news stations, WTOP in Washington, D.C.  and KOMO in 
Seattle.



My question: does anyone know of other strictly all-news stations 
in the
United States? "News-talk" stations don't count in my book as 
also the
various NPR stations don't count - great as they are.  The CBS 
stations are:



WBBM, WBZ, WCBS, KYW, KNX, KCBS and WINS.  KFWB used to be 
all-news but has
gone news-talk since CBS owns it as well as KNX (KFWB used to be 
a
Westinghouse station when that corporation owned radio stations).



Any help or other strictly all-news stations are appreciated.



Oh yes - I know of CKWX and CFTR; dunno whether there are other 
Rogers
stations in Canada that are all-news.



Now I'll go away and return you to your regularly-scheduled 
blindness
discussions.
