WCCM or WMRC

[Dan Strassberg]

While parked in my garage yesterday, I (just barely) heard a station on AM
1490. Oldies format, no commercials, no legal ID during the time I was
listening (which did not include TOH). Between each pair of songs, they
announced "Your hometown station, AM 1490," with no call letters. Maybe the
satellite service figured that there were so many AM 1490s--and none of them
very important--instead of recording station-specific positioners, they
could take care of a couple of dozen stations by recording
frequency-specific positioners. They probably did the same for the other
graveyard channels. But was this WCCM Haverhill or WMRC Milford? I was not
about to drive first to MetroWest and then to the far North Shore--a round
trip of at least 120 miles--to find out. In fact, I didn't stick it out
until the TOH to hear the legal. The programming got so boring that when
there was no BOH legal, I gave up and went inside the house, where no radio
can pick up this barely audible signal.
