However, the thing I find most remarkable here is that this was pulled off with David never showing his face in public!!!? Granted, much of Bedtime Magic's run occurred pre-internet and social media, but it absolutely blows my mind that anyone could successfully do that today.? The only other person I know of that did was the late Alan Almond in Detroit.? I honestly don't think we will ever see something like this happen again. I know David has been on this list in the past.? If he is no longer and anyone here knows how to get in touch with him, I would appreciate it if you would please make sure this message is forwarded to him.? David, I tip my hat to you sir for 40 years of an amazing career on air at Magic 106.7, and for doing it all while never showing your face in public.?

Gus had a loyal following that followed him to WCOP and later WROL and Maynard had to survive exile to overnights until Carl retired. Matty's run is impressive as he was dominant in AM drive for his entire career on WXKS-FM, especially with the female demographic. DeSuze was more of a ringmaster for the entire WBZ news and weather and held his own against Jess Cain on 850. David's run in an evening slot is unprecedented in Boston radio history.

Their stream plays better and clearer than most stations, which is interesting since they don't use one of the big 3 streaming services. Far faster load time and less spam/pop-ups, too. Hats off to securenetsystems, I guess.
