WO9-8989 was Talk shows through the ages

[Kevin Vahey]

I'm sure the phone number WO9-8989 brings back memories for many.

It was the phone number of Ken Mayer who did a Sunday night - Monday morning
show on WBOS-WUNR for years at 1600.

There was little on Monday mornings in those years and Ken developed a huge
cult audience even with the horrific 1600 signal. He took calls but you only
heard him and he played comedy cuts.

He big sponsor was the late lamented Ken's of Copley ( back in the days when
you could eat at 2AM in this town ) and travel arrangements were made by
Wiggins Airways of Norwood.

I loved that show
