I watched an episode of the Dick Van Dyke show tonight,  Alan Brady (Carl Reiner) said sarcastically ?Oh happy day?  as only he could say it when feigning total disgust.  These are my thoughts about a Washington lobbyist insider being appointed as the head of the FCC.  When I see more and more of this same garbage my only thoughts are ?abandon all hope? its over and there is no way to fix this or anything else.

Pity.  It would be nice to have someone who actually knew something
(as opposed to some*one*) on the FCC.

One correction, however: the president doesn't nominate the chairman,
the president *designates* the chairman from among the sitting
commissioners.  The Senate does not get to advise the president on his
choice of chairman.

And as with choosing ambassadors, presidents throughout the modern age 
have chosen FCC commissioners based on their loyalty in the political 
sphere as much as on their knowledge of telecommunications.  Some 
previous FCC commissioners and chairs had minimal broadcasting 
expertise-- they came from big business, where they were huge 
fundraisers for the president, or they were devoted to getting him 
elected.  A couple of former chairs did in fact have broadcasting 
experience, but as I said, not everyone was selected for that reason-- 
some were a thank-you to a supporter (think Michael Powell, chosen, by 
most accounts, because he was Colin Powell's son).  Not sure why 
President Obama is choosing this guy-- maybe he'll turn out to be better 
than we expected.

Message-ID: <20130501231650.110940@gmx.com>

The outstanding website http://www.necrat.us home to a bewildering array of tower photos from New England
and elsewhere, has a few new snapshots taken on the North Shore. It has a closeup of WBOQ-FM 104.9's new
antenna in Topsfield, plus a few translators, one of which, WWRN 91.5 I checked out just last Saturday in Rockport, MA.
(I view the Metropolitan Opera in HD telecasts at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in downtown Rockport because
it has an incalculably better sound system than any other theater in the area, and I do place an emphasis on sound
quality for these presentations. The picture is superb also on a screen that I surmise is a skosh smaller than the
ones in various cineplexes around the country.) WWRN is squeezed by a 91.3 from NH and 91.7 from Newburyport,
so I suspect few on Cape Ann will go to the trouble of selecting it from three pretty good signals in a row. (91.7 in
Newburyport is solid on that channel in Rockport, but I wouldn't be surprised if just a mile or two away, WMWM in Salem suddenly
appears).

Numerous AM stations with higher than just one- or five thousand watts occasionally promote their
power during their broadcast day, especially 50,000-watt stations. FMs are less likely to do so because at least in
areas of the country where 50K is the upper limit, they often run a lesser true ERP from atop skyscrapers and
mountaintops. Here in Boston, WGBH-FM often announces that its tower is on Great Blue Hill, but I
don't recall any mention of their granfathered 100K power authorization. But until today (Thursday, 05/02)
I don't think any AM station referenced its TOWER HEIGHT. But I was just checking out WUFC-AM 1510
to see if they were getting any calls (very few) during the much ballyhooed Pete Sheppard show. After
he signed off, there was a promo for one of their weekend shows described as being scheduled just
before kickoff (did I mention it''s the month of May?), a promo that wasn't ashamed to use the cliche of cliches
"he tells it like it is". Then came the station ID, that was preceded by this fact: "broadcasting with 50,000
watts on four 350-foot towers". I can't imagine that many of the station's listeners (probably not a
large number) would be impressed by this revelation. Come to think of it, at 6:00 pm in May, WUFC is running
its full daytime pattern, which only requires two towers! So boasting about one's tower efficiency is something
new to me. When I lived in Spokane, I knew someone at the station then known as KHQ-AM 590 and
he personally boasted about the station's 800-foot (180 degree) tower, but it was a combined AM
broadcast antenna AND the supporting tower for KHQ-TV then channel 6. He was right that it outperformed
KXLY-AM 920 by quite a bit (another fulltime 5,000-watt NDA) and KGA-AM 1510 (what a coincidence) which
ran 50,000 watts NDA during the daytime via a quarter-wave tower. If I drove 70 or 80 miles from Spokane, KGA and KXLY
practically disappeared by KHQ held on (eastern Washington State is a bit flat however). To the best of my
recollection, KHQ-AM never promoted its tower height.

they finally did whatever was necessary and it is now excellent.

The link worked for me, and it's a great article, giving some 
well-deserved recognition to a great station.  I like to listen to it in 
my car, which is the only radio I have that can get the station with a 
listenable signal.  Thanks for posting this.

"I highly doubt the 1510 towers are 350 feet high."

Actually, that's not far off.  Per the FCC data on WUFC, each tower is 109.75m tall, or 359.98 feet.

I don't know whether WNAX 570 in Yankton SD has ever boasted on the air
about its tall tower (190 degrees at 570 kHz; used daytime only when the
station operates with 5 kW ND; WNAX uses three shorter towers at night for
its 5-kW DA-N operation). But, from what I've heard, WNAX's daytime tower,
which I believe is self-supporting, USED to be the tallest AM tower in the
US (910'). AFAIK, no FM or TV station shares the tall tower with WNAX.

Some years ago, the WNAX tower lost the tallest US AM tower bragging rights
to a station on 560 in Monroe MI, south of Detroit. At night, the MI
station, which has had many call signs over the years, now shares a
TV/communications, and maybe FM and/or TV tower known as the Mo-Tower,
in--IIRC, the Detroit suburb of Southfield MI. The Monroe station runs 13W
ND into a skirt (AKA, Folded Unipole) on the nearly 1000' tower, which
likely allows pretty good coverage of Detroit, given the good soil
conductivity in that area. Whether the Monroe station has ever mentioned the
height of its nighttime tower on the air is another story, though. I'd guess
not.

When WHLI 1100 in Hempstead NY (Long Island) first signed on as a 250W
daytimer around 1947 or 1948, it used to tell its listeners at each station
break that it had Long Island's tallest AM tower--315' above seal level. Of
course, what WHLI meant was the tallest tower of any AM station licensed to
a community on Long Island. At that time, the towers of what was then (I
think) still WEAF New York City were in Port Washington Long Island, 15 or
so miles north of Hempstead. As a Class IA station on 660 kc, WEAF must
have had towers significantly taller than 315' but probably not the 800+ ft
that would have been required for full compliance with FCC efficiency
requirements for a Class I AM on 660.

Rather than quoting all 42 lines of Laurence's post merely to add your
one-line expression of dubiety, you could instead have looked it up
(it is a matter of public record, you know).  WUFC's towers are 366
feet high, so 350 slightly understates the fact.  (That 366 feet is
the overall height-above-ground of the structure; the energized
portion is 360 feet, 199 electrical degrees.)

According to Scott?s Tower site of the week before the Detroit Motower  (560 WHND) WKY was the tallest AM in the country with a Franklin at 961? rebuilt after a tornado took the original, they add two additional short towers for the nighttime array, I did see the original when it was WKY AM-TV
As for WNAX, info from Scott and Garrett?s trip the 570 tower is 27? shorter than WKY at 934? There has been a very interesting turn
of events at WNAX, it appears they have dumped the 5 kilowatt night DA array and reverted to their original 1 KW NDN pre regional upgrade status
of the late 30?s back to non directional though now they have a slight power increase at 1250 watts

That is (was?) just a temporary operation under STA while they rebuild 
the doghouse at tower #3:

REPLACEMENT OF THE WNAX(AM) NIGHTTIME TOWER 3 (ASR #1035332) ATU 
DOGHOUSE IS SLATED TO OCCUR NOW THROUGH OCTOBER 19, 2012. THEREFORE 
DURING THE DECONSTRUCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE NIGHTTIME TOWER 3

DURING THIS INTERIM CONSTRUCTION PERIOD TO THE NIGHTTIME DIRECTIONAL 
TOWER 3 (ASR #1035332) ATU DOGHOUSE, THIS SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

OPERATION FROM THE WNAX(AM) DAYTIME NON-DIRECTIONAL TOWER (ALSO 
IDENTIFIED AS NIGHTTIME TOWER 1 (ASR #1035330).

WNAX remains licensed at 5 kW DA-N. No way is Saga giving up the extra 
punch the night DA gives it up toward Sioux Falls.

(And no, I have no idea why Radio-Locator picked up on the October STA 
app and treated it as a license.)

AH HA.. that answers a question I posted on a Midwestern radio message

When I had an STA and WABV for lower day power operation, Radio Locator
never picked up on that as a LICENSE.

WKY's (or whatever the current calls are) ND (day) tower (which is also used
as part of a three-tower night array) is a segmented (Franklin-like) design,
but it isn't a true Franklin, which would consist of two 180-degree
sections. I think WKY's sections are 161 degrees each, but I can't really
make sense of the sectionalization shown in CDBS. (Actually, I'm using Bob
Carpenter's AMSTNS program, which uses CDBS data.)  There is another short
section (15 or 16 degrees), which may not increase the overall height and
which may act as a "top" load for the lower long section. For a real
understanding of the "WKY" tower, I think we'd need an annotated drawing or
photo. As for efficiency (1065 mV/m @ 1 km with 5 kW input), I believe that
you'd have to pump 14.3 kW into a minimally efficient tower (281.7 mV/m/kW @
1 km) to achieve equivalent coverage.

According to Scott?s Tower site of the week before the Detroit Motower  (560
WHND) WKY was the tallest AM in the country with a Franklin at 961? rebuilt
after a tornado took the original, they add two additional short towers for
the nighttime array, I did see the original when it was WKY AM-TV
As for WNAX, info from Scott and Garrett?s trip the 570 tower is 27? shorter
than WKY at 934? There has been a very interesting turn
of events at WNAX, it appears they have dumped the 5 kilowatt night DA array
and reverted to their original 1 KW NDN pre regional upgrade status
of the late 30?s back to non directional though now they have a slight power
increase at 1250 watts

I?m a bit puzzled, with all the resources of NBC COZI looks like it?s a product of a local community cable channel.  Their production
and on air promotional make METV look exceptional, even RTV looks very good in comparison. The real problem is the program selection
from the NBC vaults, where are the top of the heap shows from NBC?s 80?s line up like LA Law and St Elsewhere that appear on no other venue,
these shows would bring far more audience interest than the Bionic Woman and Roy Rogers and Dale Evans which could be run in off hours.
With growing the brand the clich? these days it would have made more sense to brand it as NBC Classic TV

I'm happy that Cozi has most of Universal shows I used to watch when WMFP ran RTV - MacMillen & Wife, Banacek, Marcus Welby, Alias Smith and Jones. I really don't care for L.A. Law and the shows of the 90s, so I just guess it's a matter of personal preference.?

Well, there are two issues here: who owns those shows, and do they
have sufficient residuals in major markets to allow a national network
to broadcast them cost-effectively.  It appears that Fox owns both of
the series you mentioned (LA Law from having originally produced it,
and St. Elsewhere from its acquisition of MTM Enterprises), so
presumably they are available to anyone who wants to pay Fox's license
fees, subject to the residual issue.  I recall when we got a tour of
Weigel's operation in Chicago some years back, the people there stated
that the biggest issue they had to deal with in terms of program
selection for their national networks was that there were some shows
that had already run out their syndication residuals in one or more
major markets, so they could not be run nationally without blackouts.

I knew that a religion-formatted FM was slated to begin broadcasting on 90.5 in Derry, NH from
FCC Applications and Actions. Fcc.gov's file on this station, WYDI, showed 600 watts directional
from a wireless tower within Derry, so I wondered if it would have an effect on my reception of
WICN-FM, Worcester, which not very long ago, improved its coverage to the east by moving
to the same tower location as WSRS-FM 96.1, Asnebumskit Hill in Paxton, MA. Well, WYDI apparently has
just signed on and where I live, it completely obliterates WICN. It's part of a string of stations
based in Fitchburg, with translators and regular FMs all over Massachusetts.

Silly me, one tends to forget that most shows unlike some of the Michael Landon series which were NBC productions are from
independent producers like MTM and Grant Tinker, Filmway?s, Review Studios etc.  I think there may be further complications as Little House
on the Prairie also an NBC production was sold in syndication to both the Hallmark Channel and GMT. In addition Highway to Heaven
was sold to and is showing on RTV but it may not be market exclusive as COZI is also running it. 
At best guess the stuff NBC is running on COZI was not selling in syndication to any other takers so they are trying to make a few bucks by
running it on their O&O?s and having much satellite space to distribute to any other takers. I now get the picture....it?s not done in the business
model of METV

I live in Arlington Heights, not far from the summit of Belmont Hill. Up
here, I can get WICN (just fine on one radio, less fine, albeit mostly
listenable, on another). At this location, the prime culprit in the
assassination of WICN is first-adjacent WZBC. But if I go about half a mile
to the north, east, or south, which starts to take me down the hill, WZBC
falls victim to co-channel God-caster WSMA, which is somewhere on the
South Shore and is directional with an east-west figure-eight pattern
(nulled to the north and south). I assume your NH God-caster in Derry is
owned by Blount (AM 1320). Is that correct?

Hello Garrett,

Can you tell some of us, less savvy about legacy TV media folks, what 
residuals are and how they affect and/or allow or disallow reruns. Seems to 
me, in order to produce a continued income stream, that the owners of these 
old shows would want to sell them as many times as they could. Why would 
blackouts have to occur unless the rights were currently leased in some 
markets?
Thank-You
Mark Casey

that had already run out their syndication residuals in one or more

The contracts the production companies signed with the actors and
other talent on various TV shows, starting in the 1970s, gave the
producers syndication rights for a fixed fee (residual) per airing,
but only for a limited number of airings per market.  If the producer
wants to offer a program after it has used up the original rebroadcast
rights, it must go back to the original talent (or their estates) and
get permission for additional showings.  If a show is popular enough
to run out of airings, the talent may wish to demand more money than
their contracts originally called for, particularly if they are still
performing and in demand, and in any case it's a lot of hassle for the
producer -- or seventeen copyright owners down the chain of mergers
and takeovers and bankruptcies -- to locate the current
representatives of all the people who may have residual rights in a
production to get their agreement, even if all are totally willing to
continue the previous arrangement.  This is a feature of the contracts
used by the Hollywood unions, and not something inherent in
broadcast syndication.  Shows produced before these contracts began to
be used -- which generally means that they were produced before
syndication became a profitable business in its own right -- don't
have such limits, but those shows are now quite old and have a very
limited audience.

So which category does the original Star Trek, 1966-69, which is still

Don't know.  There are two possibilities: either Paramount had a very
favorable contract the first time around, or ST:TOS is still
profitable enough that it was worth the expense of negotiating
additional airings.  However, there are two confounding factors: the
later films made (which involved many of the original cast) and the
fact that non-broadcast rights are handled differently.  You'd have to
ask an entertainment lawyer to know for sure.

Classic example

The Boston rights to 'Cheers' are still owned by Barry Diller who
owned WHUB-TV (66) briefly.

20 years ago WSBK-TV just ran Hogan's Heroes and MASH all the time.

Subject: WNNW-AM 800 FM Translator News
Message-ID: <20130515191322.323330@gmx.com>

Today's FCC applications include a request by Costa-Eagle Broadcasting, owner of WNNW-AM 800 and its
translator (some "translator"; all the programming is in Spanish just like the AM) W275BH-FM 102.9 to
provide both a horizontal and vertical ERP 0f 250 watts averaging 450-ft HAAT over 360 degrees with a
directional antenna protecting WLLO-LP 102.9 in Londonderry, NH (20 miles away at 280 degrees azimuth,
or NNW...hey wait a minute...the AM's calls ARE WNNW!). The fix to the current DA pattern does a better
job of covering locales due north and all the way around towards Woburn and thereabouts. I wonder if this
CP application could be denied if WLLO-LP objects. What recourse does a low-power FM have with regard
to a translator?

While researching something else entirely, I found a fascinating little 
article in the Boston Herald (10 February 1956) that said Stan Richards 
(then of WORL, plus he hosted Totem Poll Matinee on WBZ-TV, if memory 
serves) was changing his name legally to his professional name.  It said 
his birth name was Richard Goldberg.  And it said he was changing his 
family's names to Richards as well.  I never knew Stan Richards was once 
Richard Goldberg.  That set me to thinking of other disc jockeys and 
their real names-- Arnie Ginsburg really was Arnie Ginsburg and he never 
changed it.  But there were so many d.j.'s who used "house names" (a 
million Dan Donovans and Johnny Darks) or who tried to make their name 
sound less ethnic.  Norm Prescott was Norman Pransky, yes?  I believe 
Bill Marlowe was originally William Moglia.  Others that come to mind?

I think a pretty significant number still do, either because they
established that name a long time ago, or simply to preserve their
privacy.  (This is more important today than before, when people may
have things like social network accounts that they don't want to
intermix with their current employment.)  Even if "everyone" knows
that Randy Michaels is a pseudonym for Benjamin Homel, people don't
automatically make the connection that Benjamin Homel is the guy who
is better known as Randy Michaels.  I know there are a number of
people on this list, even, who use a pseudonym (or go first-name-only)
on the air.

I think the trend is shifting, at least in the world of news. When I 
started at WBZ 20-some years ago, it was with some newsmen who had come 
of age a generation earlier when ethnic names were still frowned upon. 
That's how "Bernie Boehm" became "Bill Lawrence," for instance, long 
before his WBZ days, and how "Carl Haarer" was renamed "Carl Stevens" 
while he was working in New Hampshire.

That sort of thing doesn't happen so much anymore...just ask younger 
newspeople like Bernice Corpuz. And in the world of noncommercial radio 
where I now toil, it sometimes seems that the more ethnic and unusual 
the name, the better.

The social media issue doesn't seem to me to be as big a deal. I know 
plenty of 20- and 30-something on-air folks who use their own names on 
the air but still manage to separate their personal accounts from their 
on-air personas.

Bill Buchanan, when he wrote a radio column in the Daily Record, used to 
like to reveal the real names of DJs.  There was an Arthur McTigue 
(sp?), who, he said, was both Dan Donovan and Kevin O'Keefe.

Oedi started using Oedipus as a character name well before he started at
BCN. It was just something to create an image. There were plenty of people
at BCN (and many more stations) who use single "image" names to this day.

Arthur McTague was indeed Kevin O'Keefe as well as one of the many Dan
Donovans who passed through WMEX (and other places). Kevin (he and I flew
together for a number of years, and I can never, ever, call him Arthur),
said that back in the day, the idea of a guy with a Scottish name
broadcasting in Irish Boston would just not fly (no pun intended).

I myself ended up with Eliot Andrews when I changed traffic companies, and
the new stations did not want me to use the same name as I had before (they
wanted brand exclusivity). But soon, I was on 9 stations using Eliot
Andrews, and only when we picked up 'BCN did I finally get to go back and
use my own name again.

I'm a good example. When I worked at the old WMEX before I went to WBZ 
radio, my changed to Ted Larsen from Thorvald Lauritsen. Not so good for

I learned very young that using my real name on the air would be a problem.
While you're on the air, you are not at home, and if a bad guy figures out
that you're in the studio, he can break in. 

(Maybe not so much today with Voice Tracking, but back then live was live
unless you taped your entire shift. There was a tear-jerker country song
about that.)  

And, by the way, the wackos can figure out your home phone number and call
you drunk at 3 AM.

That got me thinking about security issues in general, and ever since, I've
been really aware.  That's why none of our DJs use their real names on  the
air.

And social media has added a new wrinkle:  Hello, Facebook friends!  I'm in
Sudetenland!  Break into my house in Massachusetts!

I'm a good example. When I worked at the old WMEX before I went to WBZ
radio, my changed to Ted Larsen from Thorvald Lauritsen. Not so good for
radio....or anything. Larry Glick always called me "Thor The Viking"
My friends just use "Thor."

Jerry Williams was Gerald Jacoby.  He changed his name legally in 1946 to work in Bristol, VA/TN.

And on the old WRKO in its top-40 days, they had a guy with a perfect 
radio name- Frank Kingston Smith.  Yet they made him change it to the 
house name "Bobby Mitchell."  When I was on the air, they made women use 
one name only, so I was just "Donna."

Donn Donn Parker from WMEX and later WKBR was Murray Pressman, he 
legally changed his name to Donn Murray Parker.  Tom Shovan told me 
about the name change, and when I mentioned it to Donn he went ballistic!

OK, me too, I was Nick Scott on WKBR, then WEMJ and finally WNPB (do we 
see a trend down market here;-)   After the Army, when I returned to 
WNBP, while working evenings as a Technician at WBZ-TV I used my real 
name, Leighton Nickerson....  I found I got much more recognition....

Everybody called me Nick, until I had a summer tech at WBZ start calling 
me Linc....  which stuck, since he introduced me to an interim wife...  
but now I'm Linc Reed-Nickerson.  Got hyphenated about 35 years ago when 
I married Joan Reed (life long wife)

I almost didn't get hired as Engineering Manager at WDIV in Detroit, 
when they checked with folks at WBZ they still remembered me as Nick.

Trivia... if you meet someone named Leighton, first name, it is very 
likely they can trace their roots to Nova Scotia.

Not even a made-up last name?  I remember when WACQ 1150, in the late 
1970s, had a female DJ called "Marcia Nicely."  And a few years later, 
when it was WMEX, they had a DJ called "Vox Foxy."  I wonder who they were.

At WKIP in Poughkeepsie there was Johnny Walker, I. W. Harper, and other 
alcohol based names. even Bill Booze on the weekends (Ed Wroblewski), 
"Music and News with Bill Booze."  I thought the name was funny until I 
met a man who really is Bill Boos.  The fellow at WKIP got fired for 
playing sound effects during the religious transcriptions...  yes, they 
really were 16" diameter E T's.  When E T meant electrical Transcription.

On another of topic, I dropped into our local theater tonight to witness 
the new video projector....  I was a projectionist back in the days of 
Carbon Arcs and Reel Changes, I even worked in one booth that still had 
a turntable run by a shaft and flexible couplings from the days when 
sound was on 16" E.T's.  The first time I was in a booth with Dolby CD's 
synced to the time code on the film I marveled at how we had come full 
circle.

One of my high school science fair projects (1962) was "Video Disc 
Recording."  I didn't win, it was considered impracticable if not 
impossible, and no one could see a use for such a device.   I built a 
crude very low resolution system using an old record lathe arm to move 
the magnetic head across the spinning media.  I got media in sheet form 
from 3M,  it would run backwards, and sort of freeze frame if I got 
lucky.....  it did spend a lot of time out-of-lock and would tear up 
media.  Less than a decade later I was operating an Ampex Slo-Mo device 
that was very similar, damn I wish I had known about intellectual 
property back then.

Another idea, a moving map display for your car, but my version would 
have required marker transmitters every 10th of a mile or so.... That 
idea was even earlier, I'd guess about 1956 or 7.  That never went 
beyond some crude drawings in my notebook when I should have been doing 
schoolwork.  No matter, it is great to see your dreams turn into realities.

I wax nostalgic ;-)

When Larry Lujack was at WMEX, Mac renamed him Johnny Lujack after
a famous football player.

Art Ferguson was Charlie Tuna at WMEX and his big break came when Bill
Drake saw that Art was the only WMEX jock WRKO could not topple in 1967 so
Drake offered him mornings at KHJ in LA. They could not hire him at WRKO
because Mac had non-compete clauses ( see Arnie Ginsburg )

Professor Halper - Maxwell Richmond may have been loathed by all that
worked for him - but he should be in tsigbhe Mass HoF.

He took a station that had a marginal daytime signal ( and nights much
worse ) yet he held his own against WBZ and WRKO.

He knew what good radio was.

I have to agree. The man was a bastard but he did know his stuff. Well, 
up to the very early '70's anyway. First job I was ever fired from. LOL!

A couple of other real names:

Ron Robin of WMEX/WBZ is Ron Polcari.
The late Bud Ballou's (WMEX/WVBF) real name was Dudley Ballou.
Bobby Wayne (WMEX overnights in late 60's) is Jack Mitchell

I was reading Jerry DelColliano's news-letter, and he did a tribute to 
former radio consultant Paul Drew, who died several days ago. I know a 
lot of folks who worked at stations he consulted (Jerry did, at the old 
Wibbage-- WIBG in Philly). Anyone on this list have Paul Drew stories?

Gerry Cagle has a wonderful story that he shared on Facebook 
(http://www.facebook.com/gerry.cagle)  and on his blog page 
(http://www.gerrycagle.com/2013/05/17/rip-paul-drew/ )
  about his meeting Paul Drew in what was probably the most unsuccessful job 
interview that turned golden for Gerry, as well as a subsequent anecdote (on 
Facebook only) about a programming conference.  Also on Gerry's Facebook

If we can talk initials; not sure but I think "J.W." of Country 102.5
stands for John Willis --and I believe his father John Willis Sr. was
co-host of the old Good Day show on Ch. 5. In the 90s WMWM had a Sunday
morning country show, "Country Express" hosted by Gayla Willis and she told
me she was
related.

One Doug Goudie went to work for Howie Carr eventually becoming the show's
co-producer and getting a show of his own, "The Pit", before departing WRKO
for Ch 25. One day he and Howie were talking off air and Doug was making
fun of Howie's married life. Howie said he replied, "Well I've never seen
you with a woman. You're just a...Virgin Boy." (Goudie is now married
himself.) Thus the "V.B." nickname he still uses at Fox 25 Morning News,
though for awhile on 'RKO he said it stood for Victor
Bravo. Admittedly for awhile there was a second Doug on Fox 25 Morning
News, Doug Meehan, and maybe they figured two "Dougs" would confuse people.
Or maybe people just knew him from Howie's show as "V.B."

Then there's "Sandy" from Howie's show, who was Nancy Shack (don't know
her married name). It has something to do with a "Sandy" in Jerry Williams'
life...

"for awhile on 'RKO he said it stood for Victor Bravo."

It was the other way around.  The words Victor and Bravo stand for the letters V and B in the standard phonetic code used by police and pilots, among others.

Thinking back, I did use a "fake name" on the air once. Before i started my
professional career, I was involved in.. a uhh.. unlicensed station.. and
had a jock shout/jingle made for me using the name "Dave Daniels".

When i took my first radio job at a station that is now now has D in front
of it's set of W call letters, i used that jock shout and that name so I
didn't have to pay for another jock shout.. lol.

I thought a 'fake name" was cool.. and it kinda was to a newbie, but I work
in small town radio and everyone would find out quickly it's not my real
name. And as for security or privacy reasons, in the type of towns I work
in.. it wouldn't take long for people to find out info on me if they really
wanted to, regardless of what name I used o nthe air.

WRKO is billed as the only all talk station in town but another station is
adding more talk content, at least picking up two shows from Cumulus. WBNW
1120 in Concord adds Don Imus (6-8 am) and John Batchelor (9p-1 a, formerly
at WRKO and WTKK) starting tomorrow, according to
http://www.bostonradiowatch.com Imus of course had been at WEEI then WTKK.

WBNW also has Michael Graham as part of a small network and I believe they
run an hour of Jeff Santos as well.

I wonder how much CCU would want for WKOX (1430). Combine it with WBNW, WPLM
(AM), and WESO, and you'd have pretty good coverage of the entire market by
day but still very poor coverage at night. Even though the WBNW transmitter
site sits on Superfund land, I doubt whether the neighbors in snooty Concord
would accept the idea of moving one or more of the WBNW towers, much less
adding a tower. And I can't see a way in which the 1120 night signal in the
western suburbs could be improved without such work. Also, Armstrong doesn't
seem interested in spending money on WBNW's facilities.

Note, however, that this latest deal means that Armstrong has teamed up with
both Entercom (WRKO simulcasts WBNW for a few hours each weekday) and
Cumulus. What's to say that he couldn't also team up with Bloomberg and CCU
and strike some kind of deal to also simulcast WBNW on CCU's AM 1200?

Phil D. also does a live morning show on WIZZ.

Another truncated name in Merrimack Valley radio: Nick Diamond, who worked 
at WLLH in the 1970's and now hosts a brokered Greek show on WCAP on 
Sundays, real name Nick Diamontopoulos. Another one from WLLH from 1976 to 
1980, Michael B. (real name Michael Baltoumas). He used his real name when 
he first started but when one of the news people there mispronounced his 
last name a couple of times and then just one night after a newscast decided 
to throw it back to "Michael B with more of the valley's best music". 
Shortly after that Mike decided to use the Michael B on air name. Currently 
Michael B. is known as Michael Burns, overnights at WMJX and host of Sunday 
Morning Country Oldies on WKLB.

Bummer! I had always enjoyed transiting the meridian with Gene ( and the 
"Fun Time Natural at 11:11 AM!)

Back when 680 WRKO really WAS...THE Talk Station

Gene had been sick for the past few years......when KGO had the big layoff
he was supposed to go across town but never made it on the air there due to
a stroke.  He would bounce back and then slip again.......Gene was one of my
closest friends even after he left Boston.  While he was at WRKO we would go
out on Dining Adventures two or three times a week....I sold his "Gene Burns
Chocolates" at my Chelmsford ice cream shop (where he would make a personal
appearance many Saturdays to stand behind the counter and sell the
chocolates himself).  And for 5 years I was the regular fill in on "Dining
Around" on WRKO (Gene would do about 32 shows a year and I would do the rest
- although I'd usually be there even when he was hosting).  Through the show
I got to have lunch with Dom Deluise across from the Fenway Plaza studios
where Dom actually ended up cooking behind the counter at Il Panino.  I had
lunch in Julia Child's home kitchen in Cambridge, and Gene and I spent many
a day laughing with the late Nick Contos at Nick's "No Name Restaurant" on
the fish pier.  We made many trips up to Maine to enjoy the hospitality of
Mark and Clark at Arrows Restaurant.  Gene opened me up to a whole world of
food, wine and travel that I never would have discovered on my own.  Rest in
peace my friend....you deserve it.   May you "transit the meridian": and
enter the next incarnation.   -Gary Francis (Frascarelli)

So far so good with Aereo except for a few buffering issues when watching on my tv with Roku.

I got my invite yesterday but haven't done anything yet. Not sure if it's worth it as WCEA is the only channel I don't receive OTA or via cable. I wasn't happy that they offered a free month but I had to provide a credit card number, but I shouldn't have been surprised either.

Interesting they carry Spanish stations 58 and 66, but not 27.

And no New Hampshire stations at all (9, 11, 50, 60).  I might have expected 50.

Where is Aereo getting its feed? Could it be somewhere in Boston? That would explain why 62 (1 Beacon St. transmitter) is on there, and 27, 50, and the other N.H. signals aren't.

BBC Radio 4 has done a number of these sorts of shows in the past,
although not recently that I can recall.  You might still hear them
from time to time on 4 Extra.  They have also commissioned sendups of
other media; I remember "The Sunday Format" from several years ago
(skewering local newspapers' Sunday editions).

Once again am having trouble with some of the broadcast channels having little or no right channel audio, at this moment it is 
WBZ-TV 4  sometimes WSBK 14 and WPXG  which appears on channel 15. This has been a problem that keeps reappearing and in past desperation 
I had to call the CE of ION Boston who contacted his Comcast inside source to fix the levels on their fiber receiver terminal as none of these
stations are received over the air at Comcast head ends any more.
Talking to a brick would get better results than trying to explain the problem to anyone at Comcast, they all want to set up
a service call for a problem affecting one or two channels out of hundreds. No wonder cable bills are outrageous when the send tech out to every subscriber when the problem is clearly at the head end.
When it was Continental or later AT&T if you persisted they would put you through to the system CE and a head end problem was resolved
immediately, they seem to give their ?service specialists? zero rudimentary information as to how cable TV works.....the last one I talked
to did not know what I was talking about when I said no stereo right channel .....you know the crap that come out of the right side speaker...
its like a an ear bud only the speaker is a gigantic and does no fit in your ear.  He had absolutely no idea what stereo is or what I was talking about.

I have no idea where Comcast has its headend for Cambridge anymore.
(used to be Arlington)

I do know that cable networks like NBCSN and NHL Net are feeding by
fiber to Comcast to work around blackouts during the playoffs.

What I have noticed is that in the past 6 months Comcast local
inserted ads are now more regional than city specific. I used to get
Skenderian Apothecary ads all the time but they vanished at the start
of 2013.

I believe Comcast has consolidated a lot of their operations.
Framingham is on the same "system" as Ayer, if I remember correctly.
With the transition to FTTN, there's really no need for conventional
headend any more; the entire Boston market could be served from a
single location (which could well be in New Jersey, although I don't
think it is).

Not to those who use an antenna.  Here in Framingham, 27 comes in like
gangbusters (as you would expect) but I've never seen any of the
others.

Even stranger than the lack of those channels is the map showing where the service is available. The map includes the counties where all of those unavailable stations live.

Not that strange.  Those counties are in the market, so Aereo can
serve them without running afoul of the court decision that allows
them to operate, but that dosen't mean that Aereo has receivers
anywhere near those areas.

Remember the model: Aereo is not a cable TV system (officially).
Aereo is a mechanism to allow people to rent a TV receiver which
happens to be located somewhere other than their home and transmit the
signals received over the Internet to wherever they are.  Think like
Slingbox but in somebody else's data center and without the cable
subscription.  Because they are not (officially) a cable TV system,
they are not subject to the must-carry/retrans-consent regime, they do
not have to pay into the MVDS royalty pool, and they don't have to
carry channels their customers aren't interested in.

21 WPXG wouldn't be needed as long as 68 WBPX is there, as it's just a simulcast. I don't think there are any cable systems that carry both.

Yea, but this is the BOSTON Aereo service, NOT the Northern Mass service.

When WMUR was on channel 59 (pre analog sign-off; they are now on channel 9 which makes it much harder to pull in) I was able to pull it in Framingham when I set up a converter box in my brother's apartment on the 6th floor of one of the complexes across from the Mass Pike, but not the other NH channels. I lived on the 1st floor of a nearby complex at the time and couldn't pull anything other than the line-of-site signals coming from Needham.

I have to say that I am impressed with the audio and video quality I have

see that on my Charter feed, as well.

What happened to Doug Limerick on ABC radio news just now?  About 13:55 
on WVMT (620 Burlington).  It was one of those open mic moments where he 
was seeming to wait for his cue. Or, it was the wrong file uploaded to 
the server (if he's tracked). Lots of long pauses... muttering about 
fishing and time off, etc. Seemed to go on about a minute or so.  He 
then said, "Oh, I'm here" and then got back into "voice" and did a quick 
read and outro.  Very odd.

After getting my latest Comcast bill, I wondered.....

Does anyone think that they can survive with only an Aero subscription and 
access to Hulu and Netflix?

Aero - $8
Hulu - $0
Netflix Streaming - $8

$16....and, yes, I won't be getting all those channels that I never watch. 
(Although having CNN would be nice.)

Thoughts on a good way to "cut the cord"?

This is the "cutting the cord" model most people talk about although they
usually go with Hulu Plus for $8 as it is available through the Roku and
has a few more popular shows. The Roku also has curated news video apps, a
PBS, and a Smithsonian app with full length shows.

Being a sports fan I am stuck with cable

Yes I know I can get NESN from a website in Russia but.....

Funny thing is the Russian feed is usually 5 seconds ahead of Comcast.

Something's going on at WMFP, tonight 62.3 has appeared running a simulcast of 62.1 COZI-TV. 62.2 is running its normal RTV.
Also Radio discussion boards have gone psychotic again.

We dumped Dish over 3 years ago and got a Roku. We watch Hulu Plus and Netflix most of the time. No interest in going back.

And NESN has lost both video and audio tonight. They're running CSN Philly's feed. I'm watching it with the sound down and listening to WEEI.

Ditto for me. I have the MLB.com package but it blacks out video of all Sox games. Audio (both WEEI and Spanish) is included, however. I'm not going back to the late '70s when we had one TV and I had to follow almost everything on radio! If by some miracle the Sox, Bruins and Celtics were back on free TV I would cut the cord tomorrow.

A hat-tip to radio: I am listening to the Red Sox on WDEV (96.1 Warren) 
right now (lose to the Phillies).  And that's become a "good habit" for 
me. I have found that with radio I can take the Sox game with me as I go 
about my evening to-do list while with TV I'd be locked down. It's a 
retro thing but it works.

It reminds me of Eddie Andelman in the 80s predicting the impossible 
that Boston's pro sports teams would be gone from "free TV".  It 
happened.  Most cable or satellite subscribers become oblivious to the 
$60-100 a month that's paid-out.

We do miss out on NASCAR once the "chase" kicks in and Fox loses the 
races to cable the remainder of the season.

I'll go off-list at this point but suffice it to say there are days I 
wish I could run to the cable news channels (breaking news, etc.) I am 
surprised none of the cable news channels offer a fee-based live web feed.

And we have decent over the air TV reception from Mount Mansfield and 
other areas here in VT for all affiliates and their respective digital 
channels.

Not sure why anyone would miss CNN these days.  I still have it
programmed in, but can't recall when the last time was that I watched
it.

> 2.)? What do you do for local news, etc?

I think the day of the Watertown shootout last month was the only time
in at least a year when I even had any interest in what the local TV
news had to say about anything.  They don't devote much attention to
anything I care about except the weather, and there are numerous
places I can get essentially the same NOAA forecast.

(Oh, now I remember when I last watched CNN: I was flipping around
that night to see what the national channels were doing.  CNN had
WCVB's coverage, if I recall correctly.)

When major stories break most of the cable news nets offer a live stream.

Sports is the biggest hook - which is also why they contribute to your
high cable bill.

Every game is available from the Russian site if so inclined.

What are you using for an OTA antenna?

When I asked at the local TV shop if they know anyone that would install a 
TV antenna on my roof, they said they didn't know of anyone...

Didn't ChannelSurfing.net get shut down, even though it wasn't based in the U.S.?

I also wonder how much spyware/bloatware/crap you get when you visit the foreign sites.?

And I'm waiting for a good explanation of why "Radio Free Allston" 
(which was doing some amazing programming) was taken off the air, 
whereas Touch FM has been on the air for years without any penalty, and 
without any license.  Never understood it.  Still don't.

This one was Haitian, and many of those have certainly lasted a long time,
so they don't just shut those down. For example, the 3 TX simulcast "Radio
Planet Compas" on 89.3, where the Randolph and Brockton transmitters
absolutely destroy WUMD, in areas that it should be heard.
