Reply #17: This Was Around 1990... [View All]

They'd moved from 1510 to 1150...they were looking to turn it into News/Talk at the time but the other half wasn't too hot on uprooting our family again for a radio job I didn't think would last long. I think the format came and went in less than 6 months.

I first heard Arnie on a record collection called "Crusin'" back in the early 70's...it featured a recreation of one of Arnie's WMEX shows...then I also recorded a reunion he hosted on WBZ (with fading and crackles...recorded 1,000 miles away) circa 1972. His schtick sounds obnoxious to modern ears, but in the early 60's, this guy owned Boston.

Congrats on the OPB program...definitely keep me (and the rest of DU) posted on the developments. There are days I miss not playing the talk radio wars, then I talk to someone "in the biz" and hear yet another horror story and I am content playing in my own little world or venting here on DU.

Cheers!
