That last little audio collage was one of the saddest things I've ever heard. Like the history of the station flashing before all of our eyes as it died. The station was such an integral part of my life from '68 all the way to the late 80's.

I listened to this last night as well for almost an hour in my car, it was one of the saddest things ever. BCN was my favorite station.

those corporate suits ruined and pulled the plug on another free-form rock station. so sad as i remember this station in the late 60's.

@jettadude736 yes but it was pretty good, except for the snow its annoying

R.I.P. Boston Concert Network...

They gave away a uniquely Boston institution... Meanwhile 'Cheers' goes on, Paul Revere and the Revolution are getting pimp handed strong. We have a Zakim Bridge (Who the fuck is THAT?) and a Rose Kennedy Greenway. (As if the Kennedy's nee YET ANOTHER thing named after them.) Boston doesn't break bands anymore... We just line up to listen to beiber and Gaga like the rest of the North American Zombies. We used to be edgy. Boston just isn't the same anymore...

@headphone355 The former Mix 98.5 moved to 104.1, while 98.5 became "The Sports Hub"

[jettadude736]

the WBMX legal ID at the end was so cold and emotionless.

[headphone355]

Whatever became of 104.1? Did it change its format to something else?

I was born in Boston in March 1968, and always loved WBCN-my parents didn't, but that was one of the great things about this station. Edgy, interesting, and always unusual, WBCN was one of a kind. Charles, Ken Shelton, Mark "Lick Me" Parenteau, Oedipus, were just a few of the great DJs, but it was the music that dominated. Despite the multiple format changes over the last decade, WBCN managed to hang on. My stacks of old cassettes are worthless and priceless. WBCN, you are missed in Boston!

Ha- I still remember when all the deejays went on strike (1980?) and then tried to barricade themselves into the studio...I took the train into college then, so we all threw crap at the limos that brought the scabs into the station.
