WROR/WBMX

[Lou]

I had always felt that through all of its format tweaks and major changes,
WROR never really realized the success that I imagined it could.  They were
a major FM station in Boston, playing decent music IN STEREO.  They were
mostly a disappointment to this geekier-than-average listener (automation -
repetition- boredom).  And when the call letters were retired (enter
Mix-98.5), I felt that somebody was going to try to do something good with
it.  Although I never liked the programming, they gave us something live and
consistent.

I was really surprised when 105.7 picked up the WROR call letters, telling
its listeners that it was resurrecting a piece of Boston Radio History.  I
was probably hoping they would have picked up WMEX, or something crazy like
that.  Anyway, I will applaud 105.7 for finally bringing success and
stability to those call letters.  I don't particularly like everything about
their programming, but they have certainly been consistent, far more than
any other incarnation of WROR.
