WKLB Axes "Sunday Morning Country Oldies"

[Bob Nelson]

Interesting news, and Greater is taking them seriously. Admittedly the
101.7 signal is spotty in many areas--have noticed in Peabody, Danvers,
Lowell/Chelmsford etc. it's very "shaky". It may do very well in Boston
proper (stick on top of a Bos. building, right?)
