So I've noticed a lot of things happening with 96.1 WSRS in Worcester. Until recently, this seemed to be a station that was rarely brought up on the boards. But it seems like a lot of the staff is being let ago, and they also seem to be adding more and more syndicated programming. At least they have their own morning show, but now with Jana on midday and Tom Holt gone, I wonder what's gonna happen. They seem to have tweaked their weekend lineup as well. They had Jim Brickman on Sunday morning, but moved it to Saturday. Oh and let's not forget Delilah. She's basically the "queen of nighttime radio" or whatever she's called. I'm sure everyone just loves listening to her. Tom Kent's Lovin' Life Livin' the 80s I have to say isn't too bad, and I kinda like the jingles.
However, there is one syndicated program I'm glad they added. The American Top 40 (80s) with Casey Kasem. Of course, this is an old show, and was one of the only syndicated shows around back then, and I always loved listening to it. Casey's soothing voice, so many interesting facts about the songs and artists, and of course the Long Distance Dedications. I do remember listening to other countdown shows such as Rick Dees, Dick Clark, and even Leeza Gibbons used to have one, but they just did not match up.
Though I have to say it's amazing that so many people are bringing up WSRS. I remember years ago, it used to get pretty significant listenership in my area (metrowest), maybe just as much, if not more, than Magic 106.7. But now, it seems like all people ever listen to is 106.7. I think in some parts of metrowest, WSRS even has a stronger signal than Magic.
