The old WUPY Lynn tower?

[Dan.Strassberg]

I absolutely don't remember the jazz format. Doesn't mean there wasn't
a jazz format, but I'm a jazz enthusiast--at least of the tamer
genres, though not of the All-Kenny G-all-the-time variety that some
programmers have the nerve to call "smooth jazz." I would think that
if WUPY played any sort of jazz that I enjoyed, I would remember it,
but I sure don't; I can't remember any particular kind of music on
WUPY--just truly awful, totally amateurish drivel by guys who sounded
as if they thought they were running a fraternity party and were in
the condition that you would expect of guys at a fraternity party.
