neradio.org/ WMRE 1510, etc.

[Bob Nelson]

Stumbled onto Shel Swartz's http://www.neradio.org site from his Big 68 Remembered site (wrko.org)-- interesting trivia about New England radio (station history, call sign meanings, etc.) Think he has
neradio.com as well.

I would say though that one "trivial" bit of info about the 1510 frequency should be added: For a time, WMRE 1510 went from "memories" music (big band, etc.) to a talk format that included Paul Benzaquin, Morgan White Jr., Bob Katzen, and the late Marcia Masters. I have a tape of the last "Talking Trivia" show (Jan. 1987 I believe). 

"Stay on top--1510, WMRE". One oddball thing they used to do was broadcast the sound portion of the Joan Rivers show which Ch. 25 would not show (because I believe they were still owned by Pat Robertson, and it was thought the Rivers show would be too outrageous). I attended a farewell party for the station 
at a now-defunct restaurant/bar called the Breakfast Club (corner of Brookline Ave. and Boylston St., IIRC) and I met Bob Katzen there (also saw Chris Lydon hanging around, etc.) They re-emerged as WSSH (AM)
