Boss Is Back (For A Day)

[lanceventa]

Beasley sent out a press release that 102.9 WMGK will be "Boss Radio" on Thursday as part of a promotion for the Springsteen concert.

A few here will note the irony in that Beasley was the former owner of the very not-Springsteen compatible "Boss 97" WBSS Millville/Atlantic City in the early 90s.

Indeed, some will!

Gee, I wonder if they'll play more than the half-a-dozen Springsteen songs that get regular radio airplay.

To me, "Boss Radio" is Famous 56, WFIL.

Of course there is currently a station called "The Boss" serving Monmouth and Ocean county in NJ.

I listen to them on line every day, nice "oh wow" oldies, fantastic jingles and great stereo effect, kudos who ever put this together, WIBG ran a good site for years but it vanished.

Yes, and for a while now they've had some jingles calling themselves "Boss Radio", too.

Will happily give kudos to WMGK for a solid mix that went deeper than you'd expect. Looking at 1pm on (since previous hours have rolled off the "recently played" page), they did play a handful of songs 2x over the course of the afternoon and evening ("Pink Cadillac," "Jersey Girl," "I'm Going Down," "Fire," etc.) but the fact that they were working in "4th of July Asbury Park," "New York City Serenade," "Incident...", "Detroit Medley," etc. was pretty cool.

Probably could have included a couple post-Rising tracks like "Radio Nowhere" and "Ghosts" in there, but that's just me being picky.
