WBZ'S LANA JONES DIES

[Kevin Vahey]

I have a very respected cardiologist at Mount Auburn and she is upfront
that there are some silent heart attacks modern science cannot detect ahead
of time.

I knew
Lana
ca
​​
sually and during her WMJX-WHDH years she was Lana Jones -D'Agostino on air
but at WBZ it was simply Lana Jones.

I can't help but feeling that stress from the unexpected ownership change
to iHeart might have played a role in this. They axed Rod Fritz a couple of
weeks earlier and she had to be concerned.
