WPLM-FM/99.1, Plymouth, MA

["Peter Q. George" <radiojunkie1@yahoo.com>]

Pleasant surprise.  WPLM-FM seems to have returned to the Adult
Standards that made it famous, several years ago.  Apparently, they
have dumped the "Jazzy 99.1" format, that got nowhere in the ratings. 
Whether this is a "dummy" format or the real thing, it is nice to hear
Sinatra in full dimensional stereo on a solid FM signal.  I personally
like the idea of a American Popular Standard station in the Boston
area.  With WQEW /1560 "breathing-its'-last" tonight at midnight, this
would be a fine consolation prize.  If 'PLM does it right with LIVE
announcers and not do a half-assed job as in the past, it will do just
fine.  At least now, WPLM seems to have full stereo production
facilities.  When the elder Campbell ran the station, they were using
only mono cart machines.  Only the turntables were in full stereo.
Let's see what happens to 99.1 on the first of January.
