RIP Al Perry - former GM of WBCN

[Rob Landry]

You are right; WCRB's Providence station was 101.5 not 94.1. They never 
owned any AMs other than 1330 in Waltham.

I seem to recall that the Providence station was acquited from Mitch 
Hastings (WXCN?) when Concert Network fell on hard times, only to be sole 
some years later when CRB fell on hard times. It was largely pointless as 
a WCRB simulcast because 102.5 covered Providence quite well.

According to Wikipedia, Charles River was WAQY's original owner, the 
station signing on as WCRX in 1953. So, it would have been a direct 
competitor to Mitch Hastings' WHCN in Hartford.
