OK, but I'm more than 96.9% positive that it was Kaiser-Globe that
bought the three stations from Harvey Labs and set them up with their
new call letters and programming. And I do remember talking with the
executive doing it (at the new WCAS studios in Central Square). I
was in law school at the time and hoping for a part-time or summer
job announcing. Apparently I didn't have the radio voice for it at
the time. Whatever that is.
