They are still around as an online station.

Makes sense. Who the hell owns a radio?

Anyone who drives a car

JasonDJ t1_iujsqg3 wrote on October 31, 2022 at 9:29 PM

People listen to terrestrial radio…for music?

That just seems so weird to me.

Like, I can get sports or talk radio. Music radio nowadays is just such shit. It’s the same short rotation with 10% of the airtime for ads and 20% of the airtime for shitty aimless banter and heavily-diluted (and usually heavily-opinionated) “news”.

It’s amazing mobile streaming has totally killed the platform.

ETA: yeah obviously talk radio news is heavily opinionated but at least you know what you’re getting. Typical music station jocks aren’t who I’d trust for any semblance of “news”.

Back in the 70s I honestly switched between them and WBCN. BCN was radical back then. Living in Rhode Island I could get both.

Which one?!?

eastcoastflava13 t1_iuk3z7l wrote on October 31, 2022 at 10:55 PM

I mean, either of them, but the blue one more than the yellow.

ilovebostoncremedonu t1_iuk9rum wrote on October 31, 2022 at 11:41 PM

Same. If I got the yellow one I’d probably try to exacto knife the bud light off

What was 99.7? The X? Or wasn't it the edge?

dotknott t1_iujy6an wrote on October 31, 2022 at 10:09 PM

It was both! WDGE (1995–97) and WXEX (1997–99) the edge was modern rock, X was hard rock.

I can still hear the melodic station call 'JB105' as clearly now as when I was listening to it in bed with the headphones on while I was supposed to be asleep
