Later in his show, he commented on the fact that Saturday Night has the Best Party Music AND that Oldies 103 is Boston's only source for Disco Music. Yes folks, the "D" word is back!

Perhaps it was all those years of being sent off to school having to listen to Dancing Queen on WCOD down the Cape here.  Having said that though, maybe the station figures that with Star 93.7 trying to compete more with KISS and 94.5, that this is going to be their own thing.  BTW, i still have a ton of 12" extended long play hits on vinyl of 80's music, that I'm sure it won't be long before Oldies 103 will be dusting off next.
