ANdrew 8-8000

[Lou]

In the early 80s, we had Mark Parenteau on WBCN apologizing with great
humility for having to use a 931-number for a contest.  We all know that the
real, ultra-cool phone number for WBCN was 536-8000.  I don't think the
931-number lasted for very long at WBCN.

They did, much later on, get 931-1030 specifically for contest call-ins, 
and I'm pretty sure it's still there for that purpose.
