Entercom Buys WILD-FM, Will Simulcast WAAF On 97.7

[Bob Nelson]

As a matter of fact, during the baseball playoffs last year, I was
using WBAL 1090 at work (I work nights) to pick up the games, as ESPN
890/1400 didn't come in well in North
Reading.

Boston Radio Watch says: "WILD-FM's sister station WILD-AM 1090 which
until today was featuring all-talk format since January is not
involved in the Radio One-Entercom transaction.  However, WILD-AM
1090's talk format exited today and made way to temporary Gospel music
format forcing local morning drive show hosted by veteran talker Jimmy
Myers and Radio One's national talk network off the air in Boston
which almost certainly spells out a sale for the now stand-alone AM
operation."

The stunt started on 97.7: computerized voice counting down to Tue at
5:30 pm, with some
oddball comments thrown in: movie quotes, song lyrics, jokes.
