I also remember around 1991 that WUMB played soft R&B a.k.a. "Quiet Storm" at night. They played folk until 7:00 then had NPR news then "Quiet Storm". The more I think about it, I think this is a viable option for the moribund WXKS-AM. Clear Clannel already plays a format called "Slow Jams" on many of their stations.
yes @Eli, you are right, my mistake. Sorry for the mistake
Sunny Joe White's death was on 9/9/96; Fybush: Sunny Joe White RIP

WEZE as Solid Gold Z-1260 had a pretty good lineup, in addition to Colmes and Neil Gran/Cannon, Bill Lowell, Keith Simmons and Bob Stuart did regular shifts, the news people were Wally O'Hara (the prototype for Bob and Ray's "lly Ballou") and Paul Cunningham who was a veteran newsguy with credibility. For a while they had a young Linda Albin who is now the ABC Radio person in London.
All live from the Statler\
In this era, the station was owned at first by Bill ? McCormack who had been sales manager for WNAC-TV under RKO General and sold the company to TechOps
After its gold days it went back to beautiful music again, flipping right before Xmas, and went through an album-oriented phase either right before or right after its AOL incarnation, I forget which, which ended up being another failure from Clark Schmidt.

1. WCGY 93.7
2. WBCN or WAAF
3. WEEI as a news outlet or WBZ before IHR took over.

I worked at BOS during that time. I spent that summer driving the Valvoline/BOS Corvette to ADAP Auto Supply stores and other sponsors. The station brought in Tyler Reinsmith for mornings, he had been a Billboard Magazine DJ of the year. Tyler moved over to 98.5 for a short time. Reportedly, he was let go for missing his morning drive shift more than once and giving traffic jams as his excuse.
AM 1510 when Dana Hersey did mornings was a great little station. I think they were under control of a Bankruptcy Trustee at the time by the name of Ansel Chaney.
WCAS was another great AM. 590 EEI when owned by CBS was first class and WMRQ was an interesting listen.

Are you referring to "Album 1260"? That wasn't AC/Oldies, it was more like an AC version of AOR, lots of deep cuts from albums by Atlanta Rhythm Section, Carly Simon and the like, even deeper than WEEI-FM would go. IIRC, that format ended when the station was sold (to Salem?) and went all-Jesus.
It was an early version of the format that later became known as Triple-A ("AAA"), Adult Album Alternative.
I would like to see an audio version of V66
A blend of album rock and dance music for those who liked both genres and wanted to hear both genres on one station

Not a Boston station but not too far away. The simulcast of WGIR AM-FM Manchester NH in the mid 70s. A major market sounding news department with news blocks in AM and PM drive, AC music in between and talent like Bob Lobel and Susan Wornick before they made it big in Boston. A Knight Quality Group Station 
Did anyone ever notice that any station Clark was involved with always played House at Poo Corner by Loggins and Messina an awful lot. ? I don't think it was ever a big hit but WEEI-FM played so much and before that WEZE and even for a short while WBOS when it flipped to an adult AOR in 1989.
About a month before Norm Nathan passed on and not too far after Bill Marlowe.
Pooh Corner, please!Did anyone ever notice that any station Clark was involved with always played House at Poo Corner by Loggins and Messina an awful lot. ?

Was Clark (Smidt) involved with WEZE? I certainly remember hearing it on all three stations you mentioned, and even on WBZ(AM), although it may have been only during Robin Young's weekend show. I just assumed it was an AC hit, like Loggins' solo follow-up, "Return to Pooh Corner," years later, but it didn't hit any chart at all.

And perhaps WEEI-FM's (CBS) "Young Sound" from the mid 60s.
Pooh Corner, please! lol you are correct. Leaving out that H gives it a whole different meaning.
