WEZE may never have played rock but its predecessor on 1260, WVDA,
definitely did.
And I think John Q. Public(as opposed to this group[we never forget!]), for
the first few months anyway, equates the spot on the dial as the same entity
even though the station's been sold and/or call letters changed.
Donna, did new owners buy WVDA and change the calls to WEZE or was it the
same owners changing format? And when did that occur?

A closet WooWoo Ginsberg fan?  It was a riot listening to the first 20
minutes of Jerry Williams at 10PM right after WooWoo as he crashed down the
phone numerous times when the "crazy teenagers" were calling in. WMEX had
quite a convoluted demographic at the 10PM hour!
