[Blindtlk] [OT]All-News Radio Stations

[Mike Freeman]

WBZ is definitely all-news. WGN is news-talk. But it has the saving grace of
having the Chicago Blackhawks on it.

I've also heard about WBZ in Boston, MA, WBT (I think) in 
Charlotte NC, (I don't know if they are news or news/talk) and (I 
know this is all news) WGN in Chicago.

"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."

Hello Mike and everyone,

    Check out KLBJ in Austin, WOAI, and KSAT in San Antonio 
Texas.  I'm not
sure if they're strictly news or if they're news talk stations.  
Happy
listening.

Peter Donahue

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.
