Re: Boston 1260 kHz/new calls



Hey guys...

Glad to see everyone reads NERW so very carefully each week...

/sarcasm off

Quoth NERW on Dec. 26, 1999:

------

Speaking of 1260 Boston, it wins the honor of "Last Boston Call Change of 
the Nineties," as it prepares to become WMKI, reflecting its Radio Disney
format. The WMKI calls had been in Birmingham, Alabama (on the once and 
future WYDE 850) during that station's Disney days. 

------

Anyway, one more to throw into the pot: WDYZ 1450 West Warwick RI
becomes WHRC (for the third use of the call in New England and 
environs!) -- for "Hercules."  Guess Disney wanted the more usable
"WDYZ" calls for someplace bigger...

-s, prophet without honor :-)
