Return of Lost 45s to...where?

Barry Scott teasing this on Facebook:

>>#Boston! "The Lost 45s" is coming back to your local radio! Listen to Clue #4: https://www.lost45.com/New_England.mp3 More clues at https://www.lost45.com

Not sure where it will be but actually he's on Methuen's WUBG 1570 with a Medford based FM translator (COL Methuen) at 105.3 (hence "Big 105.3"). I thought he was on up on the NH seacoast at 102.1/105.3 too but he's saying Boston.

The show started in effect on WERS (or at least, he was an Emerson student) and has been all over the dial including 98.5, 105.7, 100.7, 103.3, 92.9, 93.7 etc


104.9? (80s focus though) Back to 105.7? 99.1?

The long-awaited "new" WMEX?

I believe that when I see/hear/read it. Poro Joe may not be able to broadcast from his beloved Brockton fair. And even if it got on air in time, it'd be cutting it close.. how many people would be listening? very Few...

But there is always the Marshfield Fair..... has he started on his yearly "for the Xth year I am voicing the ads for the Marshfield Fair" posts yet?

But since The Old Troll of Rock And Roll ( Ed Perry) is a big fan of going to the scene of the crime ( even getting arrested once ) if he gets the Brockton AM on the air and broadcasts live from the fair, he can be on scene when the inevitable shooting/stabbing/riot/gang fight starts.
 
I'm pretty sure it's 99.1. They announced that starting next Sunday, AT40 the 70s is moving from Sunday night to Saturday morning, and that a new show will be taking its place on Sunday night.
 
Barry actually started the show in 1982 on WECB AM 640 the AM carrier current station that was broadcast to the Emerson dorms and dinning halls. WECB was the minor league starting point before auditioning for WERS.

We used to joke that we knew where those 45's were we just had no interest in hearing them. Barry proved the joke was on us as he has made a nice living playing those one hit wonders.

Those 45's are not lost, someone put them away for a reason.

that being said, I wish Barry the best.
 
WECB

>Was it a Top 40 format then?

WECB was the "Nu Rock 64" then, but also hosted a weekend Oldies show, which morphed into "The Lost 45s" and went to WERS the next semester. That would be, gulp, 1982 and I was 19. ("n-n-n-nineteen" as Paul Hardcastle would say). #reminiscing
