FYI: 'Matty in the Morning' host to make 'big' announcement Tuesday morning

[Rob Landry]

Well, right now you can hear jazz on WZBR (AM 1410; FM 98.1, but the FM 
range is limited to Medford and the surrounding towns).

WHRB is in its spring Orgy(R) period, and its usual time slots for 
different types of programming don't necessarily apply. Orgy period ends 
with the Commencement broadcasts -- there are two of them this year: on 
Thursday, May 26; and Sunday, May 29. After that, WHRB will go back to its 
usual schedule.
