I recall that the WBZ-FM automation was not the greatest and that they
used to simulcast the top of the hour news from WBZ-AM,  I think the news
would come on exactly at the top of the hour no matter what was on the
air on BZ-FM and the lead in liner was something like "When the music
stops, that's news"
