I remember WITS  I still have my last payroll check that bounced <g>

Donna you ever find out what connection if any Mariner had with WLW?  
Scanlon was based in Cincinnati and was supposed to have some holding 
there.

I ll never understand why WCOP flipped from Top 40 in 1962.... I ve been 
told the main thing that killed them was their awful night time signal 
on the North Shore. Still Ken Carter used to pack them in on Saturday 
night at the Pepsi Dance Party from the Eliot Ballroom in Porter Sq. But 
WCOP really of all the full time Boston signals never was a factor, even 
WEZE was a major player until WJIB came along.
