Boston Herald Radio Daze

August 6, 2013

It’s official. The Boston Herald is no longer a newspaper. It is merely a promotional vehicle for the Herald’s Garage Broadband Radio webstream.

Today’s edition of the dicey local tabloid features four – count ’em, four – pages devoted to BHR, starting with Page One.

Then there’s the obligatory two-page spread flacking the radiostream.

And if you click on the Play button you get this:

The Boston Herald launched its new Garage Broadband Radio station yesterday, which the dicey local tabloid’s Monday edition trumpeted in a full-page newsvertisement.

You can access BHR here.

But we don’t necessarily recommend it.
