Hate to be the bearer of bad news and this one hits close to home.  This is my daily listen in the office - besides outstanding 60's and 70's music, they have a sharp local news staff, talented/experienced jocks, play by play of Quinnipiac University sports (national semifinalist in men's ice hockey, currently ranked 6th), have a fine local business program, and once the most southwest affiliate of the Red Sox Radio Network (no loss there  ;)!) - they were the closest thing to a solid, local programming broadcaster in this area, reminiscent of radio in days of yore.

See if they'll let you hook up to their stick! Might want to bring an attenuator though, sigs might be a little strong.
