the old days: Jess Cain

[Dan Strassberg]

Channel 66. He also worked at WESO Southbridge and WMEX (the Mac Richmond
WMEX 1510), where he was PD for a while. I believe he does program
syndication now. Among his syndicated programs is a classical music service
programmed by WCRB/WFCC. He also originated (originates?) a weekly program
done before a live audience from his home in Southboro. The name is/was
"Houseparty," or something like that. I forget which Boston station
carried/carries it--WZLX?, WAAF? Rock music of some stripe and, presumably,
off-color humor. (I can't imagine him doing a program of that type before a
live audience without getting into off-color humor.)

I believe his house is on property that he originally bought for WGTR's
transmitter site, but when Southboro wouldn't grant a building permit, he
found the site on Sewell St in Ashland on which the five 530' towers were
built, but I think he kept the Southboro property and built his house there.
I've heard that he has a landing strip for light planes on his property.
