Re: WCCM Changing Format

[dan.strassberg@att.net]

Yes, WBOQ plays standards, but the selection is far more 
sophisticated and eclectic than that of any of the 
satellite-delivered adult-standards services. No Connie 
Francis, Joni James, Toni Fisher or, for that matter, Al 
Martino or Jerry Vale, or any of the countless other 
stars of the 50s who, before the rock 'n roll invasion, 
made popular music so excruciating and execrable with 
their endless lachrymose ballads.

Another choice for adult-standards listeners in the 
Merrimac Valley--at least during the day--would be WCRN, 
a _strong_ AM signal just an eight of a turn or so (on 
analog radios) north of WCCM. WCRN also eschews much of 
the brain-dead music I cited, but its approach is 
probably a bit more acceptable to Music of Your Life 
habitues.
