They don't know their own history. 1970 was when WRBB
first took to the airwaves on 91.7. I remember because,
when WBRS Brandeis (then also 91.7) was off the air, I
could actually hear WRBB where I grew up in Newton and
it was a new station on the airwaves at the time. (It 
was formerly closed-circuit WNEU). 

Both WRBB and WBRS didn't move into the commercial band
(104.9 and 100.1 respectively) until the mid-1980s, I
think it was 1986, leaving WMWM Salem the only occupant
of 91.7 that can be heard (faintly) in Boston proper,
between splash from adjacents WMFO 91.5 and WUMB 91.9.
