"Ray Brown" Has Left The Building

[Dan.Strassberg]

Wsn't there (or isn't there still) a guy with the same name, Ray 
Brown, who did (or still does) an old-time jazz show on a weekend 
night on WGBH-FM? I listen to 89.7 on Saturday evenings (Prairie Home 
Companion, Says You, and a 9:00PM-to-midnight Blues show, which I 
generally turn off if I haven't fallen asleep), so if the old-time 
jazz is still on, it must be on Sunday nights, when I don't listen, or 
maybe the old-time jazz (Bix Beiderbecke et al) has morphed (wouldn't 
be too much of a morph) into the Saturday night Blues show. Anyhow, if 
I have the correct air name for the GBH guy, I very much doubt that it 
was the same Ray Brown who was on 99.5 and before that on 102.5. So 
who, if anyone, has 'CRB plugged into the departed Ray Brown's time 
slot--or is the station now running "jockless" in his former (weekday 
mid-afternoon?) slot?

The upper right window of wcrb.com's website shows the announcer or 
announciatrix
on duty, and early Monday afternoon it's Art Steinberg.  It may not be 
until
later in the day that we'll see if Ray's disappearance from the 
website bio page
means something.  It could be just one strand in personnel cutbacks by 
Nassau after
the Entercom deal with its cash infusion fell through.
