  It is interesting.......In Boston there were several attempts in the
60's and 70's for country to take hold (WHIL-FM, WCOP-AM) but a
combination of bad signals, limited promotion budget, etc doomed the
format from the start. WCOP-FM (what was it WTTK?) had some sucess with
progrssive country, but by and large the public never took to it.

         What is curious is that in the early 1970's, WSMW-TV 27 in
Worcester highest rated programs were country (Porter Wagoner, Judy Lynn
and Hee Haw)..... go figure.
