WCAP shocking moments in thier broadcast history, according to me...

[EM1 GITCHIER <RGITSCHIER@doyle.navy.mil>]

While home in Lowell this weekend, I believe I heard that WCAP's new
automation is in the process of being installed. Wow, to think that WCAP is
entering a new age with high tech equipment.... I'm afraid to wonder what's
next.

Does anyone remember the time when WCAP 980 played the B side of the
Beatles' Abbey Road album (during regular business hours during the week)? I
was shocked then too!
