Yeah.  I lived in Bedford, and we got a strong signal from WCOP.  But WMEX 
was such a cool-sounding station that a lot of kids listened to it despite 
the reception problems.  I used to listen to it only on Sunday night, when 
Arnie Ginsberg played oldies.  It was only after WCOP shifted that I 
started listening to WMEX a lot.  Especially when I discovered that WCOP's 
"Ed Mitchell" was now "Fenway" on WMEX, complete with his sidekick, Bruno.
