Imagine my astonishment while streaming Harry Shearer's Le Show to hear the announcer at WAMC (Albany NY) state that Utica AM station WRUN was part of their system. I'd heard that the station had been sold recently, but I'd assumed that it was being transferred to another right-wing corporate giant for business as usual. I had all but given up AM radio for dead, both locally and nationally. This changes everything. I don't know if other Uticans will be able to handle Harry Shearer (since he discusses news items they don't hear on FOX), but all I can say is "Hooray!" I gotta dust off that old Zenith!
