  I recall the first time I heard WLNG in 1990, when I went to visit friends 
who were living at that time in Groton CT. Definitely a unique sound, and 
since they've been streaming on line I do listen to them a couple of hours a 
week, plus I always listen on the radio when I am driving along the Southern 
CT. shoreline. The article says that WLNG will continue what they've been 
doing since 1963, as that's the way Paul would want it. An example of live & 
local full service radio that works. Not many of those left.

   I am listening to them on line as I type this. Evening jock Chuck Mackin 
made mention of the sad day at "Broadcast House". Also, he announced WLNG 
will be airing a tribute to Paul Sidney Friday from 1 to 2 PM.
