WBZA was gone by then.  Much to my displeasure, since the night reception
wasn't always very good.  But then again, since WBZA was only 1000 watts,
it may not have been that much better.

While I was at UMass, I didn't usually have a car available, but after I
graduated, I discovered, while driving back from a visit on a Sunday
night, that it's really difficult to find an AM station that will give
listenable reception for very long during that drive.  Then again, I don't
think I ever tried CBL at that time.

It's easier on FM.  Last time I was up there, I drove home late at night
and listened to WDRC in Hartford, then WWBB in Providence, which brought
me within range of Boston stations.
