Studio 6 is there should Greater Media 'acquire' another station in Boston.
Also it is used as a back-up studio, for example, they are going to do some
construction in the WROR studio (studio 1) soon, so we'll move there in the
interim.

Yes, they are updating the audio juke box and yes it the reqular jocks
(except Robyn)  are running the boards, as per their regular shifts.
The WROR juke box is next.  A great deal of the songs are still from the
Pru's system, a lot of upcuts and the like (listen to the start of "Good
Lovin" by the Rascals:  the one in one -two-three  is gone and there are a
lot of new cuts ...thanks to Saturday nights..... to be added to the
playlists ).
Then the Magic juke box(they have a lot of special cart edits the have to
be burned to CD).  Then KLB to follow.  Jazz has already been taken care of
(you'll notice the tightness of the <some> music as opposed to say 'ROR).

I'm doing it cause I want to.  And the money is pretty decent too. And the
PD (Shirley) likes what I do :-).

Jazz on Magic on Sunday's has always had good numbers, so why screw with
it. IMO
