About this listen

 NightSide focuses on a wide variety of issues, political, economic and social. Rea believes that talk radio is the best way for people to communicate their opinions and ideas on what he calls “North America’s Virtual Back Porch.” Rea encourages challenging conversations and diverse ideas combined with respect and tolerance for the opinion of others. But don’t think for a moment that NightSide is anything but provocative, always interesting and at times, passionate and emotional. 6424272026 WBZ-AM Politics & Government

    In 2025, New Hampshire lawmakers passed a measure to eliminate their annual motor vehicle inspection requirement, effective Jan. 31, 2026. The vendor that had overseen the state’s vehicle inspections, Gordon-Darby Holdings Inc., challenged that measure, filing a lawsuit. The state was made aware by federal and state officials that repealing the inspection program without first obtaining the EPA’s approval regarding federal environmental law would violate the Clean Air Act. The program was repealed without approval first, leading to further legal proceedings and public confusion. What are your thoughts on eliminating annual motor vehicle inspections?
