And as long as we're on the topic of old Boston radio phone numbers, it
bears noting that WNAC's number - COMmonwealth 0800, later COmmonwealth
6-0800 - remained the same from at least as far back as 1935 (the oldest
listing I have) until the 1967 move to Government Center.
While I have the 1967 Broadcasting Yearbook out, I note that WCOP's
number then - COpley 7-0123 - stuck with 100.7 (as 267-0123) right up
till the move out to Brighton a year or two ago.
There are some other familiar numbers in the book from that far
back...WROL's 423-0210 stayed in use until the sale to Salem, WEIM's
DIamond 3-3766 still rings out there as 343-3766, WLYN's LYnn 5-6200
still rings at WFNX, last I checked, and WHIL's 396-1430 still gets you
Kiss. PIlgrim 6-1390 is still WPLM's main number, and 893-7080 is still
the number at WCRB. (Those Waltham numbers were TWinbrook back in the
day, and I don't know why WCRB was listed all-numerically.)
