I don't know, the heyday of WBCN that I remember is when they were 
the flagship of the Concert Network.  They were competing with WCRB 
and WXHR and sometimes WBZ-FM and WCOP-FM (both also-rans), but they 
were a really professional station.  They had one of the first woman 
announcers, Nirmal Danier (spelling may be off).  Shortly afterwards, 
WHXR got Janet Baker-Carr.  But in 1959, when I got my first FM 
radio, WBCN and WCRB were the full-time classical stations.  WXHR 
signed on at 4:30 PM until, some months later, it joined the QXR 
network.
