WNBP-FM 106.1 W291CC

[Chris Hall]

On a drive down to Essex today I had the pleasure of listening to the new WNBP-FM, very well programmed local radio at its best.  The new signal
is listenable from the junction of I-495 and Route 213 in Methuen all the way to Restaurant Row in Essex with a few areas of co-channel
garbage in Rowley and Ipswich.....not bad for 90 watts. The announcement seems to be a change to “The Legends” a late 50’s and predominantly
60’s based oldies format which is extremely well done. Audio is excellent, a touch over compressed for my taste but I understand why they are doing it
just trying to get the most out of their RF signal and are doing an excellent job. NBC News on the hour, even though the signal is a bit challenged
across the boarder in Salem. Just reset one of my long wasted FM push buttons to 106.1 to enjoy this wonderful station where I can.
