They're both "legit" as they are both under the CBS
Boston umbrella. 98.5 HD2 "WBCN The Rock Of Boston"
is supposed to be the music of the 1990's-2000's
WBCN incarnation (no live DJ's on that one).
"WBCN Free Form Rock" 100.7 HD3, programmed by Sam
Kopper is supposed to be the philosophy of the '60s/
'70s WBCN with music from then through today, and
live DJ's some hours.

You're not listening at the right times. At minimum,
there are live DJ's most every weekday from at least
11 AM (or sometimes 12 noon) to 2 PM or later, often
to 4 PM. Usually Sam, or new (but good) DJ Destiny
Curtis. Occasionally, live DJ's start on as early as
9 or 10 AM (occasionally early '90s WBCN DJ Carolyn
Fox does a morning shift from 9 to 11 or noon). Sam
usually keeps it live Friday evenings with a "Friday
night party" until 9 PM.
Though there have been some live weekend shifts and
weekend specials, there is nothing live regularly on
weekends at this point.
