Keep the Rock of Boston alive!

You KNOW I mean business when I actually film, edit *and* upload a video in one day. You also know I mean business when I don't take the time to do my hair, or make sure I don't lisp, or cover up that monster zit on my forehead.

I'm not called "That Boston Chick" for nothing.

Really though, we have enough sports channels on the AM side -- and one or two on the FM side! -- in the paraphrased words of Chris Crocker: LEAVE WCBN ALONE!

But I want to say a big THANK YOU to my new subscribers, even though I rarely update. Someday I'll get back into a routine, I promise!

Who in Boston listens to a sports station that's not named WEEI? I don't even live in Boston but love radio so much that I put a vid up on this. EEI is a regional sports radio network throughout New England. It can do this because they're the top rated sports station in the country.

Plus these idiots have this notion that the best way to bring in ratings these days is to cater to the teen crowd. That's why NY, LA, Vegas, and Indy now have MULTIPLE Top 40 stations.

My thoughts exactly! A few times, I'd be driving around with friends and we'd be interested in how the game was going, and our first reaction would always be "Tune to 850 for a second."

I whole heartedly agree with you! However, I felt 'BCN was already going downhill after some of their better DJs left, like Melissa and Nik. River raves were already gone, as well as the Call-In with Bob Lobel and Nik. Anyone remember that infamous front page herald photo of Bob with those two girls in hand, all thanks to Nik?

Eh, that's true. But at the same time, it's still worth having around. It's like SNL -- yeah, it sucks now, but it was once this pioneering machine and we know it'll bounce back eventually.

Thats alright BCN sucked anyways. AAF is much better.

I've said this in other vids, but I'll say it again.

CBS Radio has been making the most stupidest decisions ever! First, 97.1 FM Talk in LA was flipped to Top 40, then 92.3 K-Rock in NYC was flipped to Top 40 aswell, now WBCN is replaced with Hot AC? What the hell? And why does 98.5 have to be sports? I rather have them switch frequencies, plus sports doesn't go with FM. Fuck CBS Radio! But I'm glad CBS Radio hasn't messed with its Las Vegas stations... yet.

I agree with you so much on this. It's been two days and I still can't believe this station is gone.

I love sports like everyone else, but enough is enough. I don't like it so much that I would want it to be at the expense of a legendary/groundbreaking rock station. This *is* a music city just as much as a sports city.

All of this makes me want to start my own station someday, seriously. What a freaking joke.

BCN also played Nirvana "Teen Spirit" before any other station.

I remember hearing it on "Heavy Metal From Hell" some six months before it broke and was being played hourly on AAF.

[NMNHTV13]

You hit it right on the head.

Listeners and sponsors can affect change just ask Steve Lavelle.

He was canned by CBS CORPORATE, but the WBZ management and listeners said no way this ain't happening!!!

However I'm not sure how old you are but what was left of the REAL BCN died in the mid 90s.

Until this weekend we hadn't heard anything close to the REAL BCN since and it was fitting that Bradley as the only REAL BCN jock left was able to ride it out till the end.

SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND!!!

definitely know what it's like to have one of the few if not only rock stations get changed to a sports station -_-' to my surprise when i was actually listening to the radio i found out that my favorite station was bought out by espn. not happy.

[longisland495]

Right!

I've put sports videos on my page but I hardly listen to sports radio any more because they go over the top a lot as if they have no life outside of sports.

Plus, get this, now message boards are saying that WEEI could now start simulcasting on 93.7 but this is only bulletin board material for now.

Please reconsider CBS!
