There is no problem with announcers or anchors if they were high profile, 
did a lot in the community as fund-raisers, and were exceedingly well known 
for a long time.  The editors just don't want a who's who of deejays who 
came and went.  These are supposed to be the TOP NAMES, the most memorable 
people of the broadcast century, people who made a difference for their 
station and typified radio or TV in Boston.  Some will certainly be owners 
of stations, since their actions changed the direction of our media (like 
channel 7 becoming more tabloid).  But some may be people like Bob and Ray 
or the previously mentioned Chet & Nat-- people who truly represent what 
Boston broadcasting is, and were also influential with the business 
community thanks to their ratings and the commercials they did... I was 
thinking of Jess Cain for that reason... but the magazine is a business 
mag, so the article has to have more of a business focus than a "people who 
played the hits" focus...
