      So who's going to broadcast the Patriots?

      (I know, I should probably read the article.)

        98.5 will become sports radio and take over the broadcasting of the Pats (seems to be the latest information).

          Sounds like Toucher & Rich will air on 98.5 - and therefore, this doesn't really bother me.

            They were the only ones that broadcast the Dr. Dimento show when I was a youngin' - that show was great back in the day.

            Save for the Pats, I haven't listened regularly for a long time.

                Too many lame, $h@& rock bands nowadays must have done them in. Oh well. I don't have any loyalty to one station but I guess I'll have to set one button to WAAF in order to hear non Neil Diamond/James Taylor music now.

                  I'm gonna have to make a dial for 98.5 only so I can listen to Toucher and Rich... either aaf or fnx for the afternoon drives...

To put it another way, if MNS ever gets any, he'll appreciate the experience on a far deeper level than the rest of us did when it was our first time, simply because he's gone far longer and failed far more than we ever did.

                      I've been dialed into 92.5 The River for years now. Post XM, that's the only FM station I listen to for tunes.

                        I thought the reason you listened to WAAF is because the Hillman is the slower, less amusing version of the people you argue with on political threads? Hell, the one picture SPIN CONTROL likes to put up of the guy with his head in his sand is more amusing than anything the Mantown Jackanapes have said in the past 20 years.

                        Aside from Toucher and Rich and the Pats, this doesn't bother me at all...
                        Would someone please explain to me how WFNX, WAAF, and WBCN can get away with having the same playlist? People, I want to AVOID listening to Chili Peppers, not be roadblocked into hearing them on three stations at the same ****ing time.

                          Never heard much of 'BCN being way up north here out of its range, but I've heard my fair share. Granted, its heyday is long gone, but this is just wrong. They're an icon of the Boston scene.

                            Too bad for BCN - as rufus said a Boston icon - the Boston Concert Network, Charles Laquiderra and his alter ego Duane Ingalls Glasscock, Ken Shelton and the UNH connection - Bradley J. Sure it may have been way past it's prime, but it was a great station and I'll be very disappointed to see it go. Would love to get my hands on their concert vault recordings as they broadcast live shows of just about everyone. BCN just isn't relevant anymore.

                              I'll only listen to the new station for the Pats and the Bruins. Boston does not need another all-sports station, even on the FM dial.

                              I stopped listening to BCN many years ago; listen mostly to WZLX (plays some of the music BCN played back in the day). When I watch the music award shows these days, I have no clue who many of the artists are (unless they get arrested ).
