"It's the programming, stupid!"

[Jim Hall]

It was still WHIL-FM at the time, with the FM antenna still in Medford, so
it didn't get out as far as WXKS-FM does now from the Pru.

I recall 107.9 was WWEL trying to complete against WJIB with beautiful
music. I don't ever remember it being country.


To make the picture more complete, you could also add the dozens of local
/1kw stations like WJDA and WESX  that are now satellite fed and/or
brokered.  These stations may never have been tops in the ratings but in
local communities, their ratings were pretty good.
