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. 

>"Free Form BCN," keeps promising live jocks, but 
>I never hear them when I tune-in.

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.
