I would have hopes of a “Talk 1200 on 101.7” but not sure it would happen. Expert Mark Schnyder of Boston Radio Watch
tweeted to me: “Let me put it this way -Clear Channel just didnt spend $11 mill on a city FM signal just so 101.7 could be Howie Carr’s new home “
Spanish? Adult contemporary?
btw a little while back a newspaper/site called the Weekly Dig put out a story saying they heard Entercom was buying WFNX so they could put “Mike 93.7” on 101.7, and flip
93.7 to WEEI sports. (The latter part DID happen.) I was suspicious about the story since a)nobody else had it and Ent. and Boston Phoenix were both denying it, and b) The Dig is a competitor of the Phoenix. Obviously they were tweaking the nose of their competitor!
Supposedly the on air staff was let go immediately.
I thought Mike FM was sufficient. That concept is in other cities, too. Maybe it isn’t for everyone to have AC/DC played after Shannon but that is the idea behind “We Play Everything.”
