PETER GEORGE WROTE:

But fortunately, 105.7 (after a painful stint as a Country Station) is   
playing the hits as WROR.  Personally, I like it.

As a long-time listener to radio (and most formats i.e. Top 40, Soul,   
Jazz, Rock, Dance, Rap, Reggae, Disco, Big Band, Oldies, Alternative &   
Country), I still find many people refer to Country Music (in Boston) as   
painful.  Why?  Is this personal musical taste or commentary on a   
station's bad approach to a legitimate format?  Loren & Wally may not   
have liked country music themselves, but I think their approach &   
delivery were top notch.  On the other hand, their comments after country   
was dropped were most unprofessional e.g. "Boy, are we glad we don't have   
to play that stuff anymore."  IMHO it would have been more mature to drop   
the issue and move forward - rather than grousing.
