I bounce around the radio dial on my way to work in the morning. I do listen to 97.1FM. Heather Park's news usually runs at 22 minutes past the hour for roughly 10 minutes. It may go a little longer, depending on the dialogue around the stories. They've reduced the time, in fact, from when the bit first started.
The news segment does not run half the show. There is far more time spent on speaking about University Michigan football, the Detroit Lions, other college football, the NFL Draft, and football betting lines.
Good, bad, or neutral, all other sports take a back seat.
And really, is the 97.1FM News segment any different than the stories heard on, say 104.3 FM, 94.7 FM, 99.5.FM, or most other commercial morning shows that are not NPR or CBC?
