Re: WSRS ( W1XOJ )

[dan.strassberg@att.net]

But the fact that the first S stands for "Stereo" tells us that it hasn't been 
WSRS for ALL that long. My guess is no more than 25 years. And I know that some 
people would call that a VERY long time. However, for many years, what is now 
WSRS was WTAG-FM.

I think it's kind of ironic that the Worcester FM station that probably could 
move closer to Boston if it wanted to (WSRS) apparently isn't interested in 
moving (yes, I know that WATD is in the way). Meanwhile, WAAF, which can't move 
very far in this direction because both WXKS-FM and WMJX are third adjacent, 
wants to move.
