Boston AM dial 50 years ago

[George Allen]

Me also.  Altho I spent some quality time there in the late 60s and 
early 70s, I don't recall any pre-classical history.  Did Ted Jones 
buy the station or start it from scratch?

WCRB may have a "first" in Boston Radio history; they "let me go" 
because I was Caucasian, claiming the FCC required them to have 
better ethnic/racial balance on the staff.  The Mass Comm. Against 
Discrimination promptly re-instated me.  RIP TJ and RLK.

I'd love to know more about what WCRB was doing before it went classical
and how that came about.
