The unimpressive run of 1150 AM was: WTTT

[Paul Hopfgarten]

My father was a regular listener to 1-1-5-0...WCOP...in the late 60s (the
Country years)

And I actually listened to 1150 for a bit in the WACQ days (late 70s?) when
I had s**tbox cars w/o FM radios.....

With yet another format change on 1150 you have to look back at this station
as being the worst performing AM in Boston history.

When you consider the full time AM's to Boston  590, 680, 850, 1030, 1150,
1260, and 1510  the 1150 license has done very little of note in its
history.  ( I didn't include 950 or 1330 or 1600 )

Every other AM at one time was the most listened to station in the city as
even WEZE 1260 was huge in the mid 60's before WJIB (96.9) came along and
blew it away.

Certainly 1150 must lead in call letter changes ( with 1510 right behind )

In my lifetime only once did 1150 matter to most Bostonians. They were a NBC
station in the 60's and they had the rights to the 1967 World Series.

Also remember 1150 fondly for Monitor in the 60's before the station flipped
to country.
