I remember this.  I heard them sign on that afternoon from their 
transmitter site (or so they said.).  The various commercial stations in 
Boston donated equipment, and they soon were operating from studio space 
in the Museum of Science.  I believe they stayed there until the Western 
Avenue location was ready.

I remember getting the Student Council in high school to hold a benefit 
dance to make a donation to WGBH.  I think we got a DJ from WCOP gratis, 
but I don't think we made much because it snowed that night and the roads 
were bad.
