And making things even more confusing, in the early 1970s, when I appeared
on a talk show there, WUNR/WBOS had their studios in the Bradford Hotel,
and I was told that it was the same studios that had once been used by
WBZ.

I believe the WBZ history in the Archives reports that the base of the
WBOS shortwave tower can still be seen at the Hull site.
