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

I like math.

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.

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

Re: WBCN "The Rock of Boston" 1968-2009
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.

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
).

They actually got the Boston Concert Network name from when they were strictly broadcasting classical music. Just an interesting fact...

Same with 'HCN in Hartford. Sister stations that started out with classical and moved to rock when there weren't ratings for classical. Anyone remember WBOS being disco, then alternative, then overnight becoming a country station? An ironic twist of the country switch was one of WLYN's (Later to become 'FNX) DJs had gone to 'BOS only to have the switch happen within a week of the move.
