I will never forget Arnie Ginsberg reaching the half-hour mark every hour 
and saying something like "If you want news now you can tune to WHDH [their 
hourly news was at :30], but if you want music here we go..."
I think it was in his WBOS days and not WMEX since WMEX had news, albeit 
not during Arnie. I don't think Richmond Brothers would have cared too 
much, then. It definitely wasn't on his brief stint at WRKO-FM!

As we close the 20th Century A.D. with one last year (2000) let me join 
with my favorite radio station locally-owned WPLM-FM 99.1 with perhaps the 
largest playlist in the free world playing a unique blend of great music by 
great artists in wishing everyone success in this its second year of its 
unique format!
