Barry Scott and Lost 45s to WROR

W

WMC2006

Someone mentioned it briefly on the "First WODS jock back on the radio" thread but...no one is talking about it??

Loren Owens mentioned it at about 8:25 this morning. Barry Scott will be bringing Lost 45s to WROR beginning Sunday September 2nd from 6-10pm. Barry will be doing a Top 100 Countdown starting that night.

ROR hasn't been able to get by 103.3 at Xmas,
shouldn't have any trouble this season. Unless some
other station jumps in (early)?

Glad they gave Barry a slot.

What is "Little Walter's Sound Machine"? Little Walter DeVenne's show was always his "Time Machine", and I haven't heard about him coming back on, which seems very unlikely that WROR would go with a show of '50s/early '60s music nowadays, even at 10 PM on Sunday nights.

The show that has been on WROR at 10 PM Sunday nights is Steven Van Zandt's nationally syndicated "Little Steven's Underground Garage". I assumed that will stay on after Barry's show.
 
It is Little Steven's Underground Garage.

This is WROR's current Sunday schedule:

Sunday

12 mid 6:00 am The 60's, 70's & 80's...All in One Place
6:00 am 7:00 am Greater Boston Today
7:00 am 9:00 am The 60's, 70's & 80's...All in One Place
9:00 am 1:00 pm Mauzy Stafford
1:00 pm 6:00 pm Paul Perry
6:00 pm 10:00 pm The 60's, 70's & 80's...All in One Place
10:00 pm 12:00 am "Little Stevens Underground Garage"
 
so if Barry Scott is back on WROR. How is that? How did he get that gig? May someone please explain to me, because (Greatermedia.com) "Employment" "Boston" doesn't mention nothing about On Air Opennings at WROR
May someone please tell me, why and how does this happens?
People like me trying to get to work in radio full time (now working part time weekends in radio) but trying to get full time, when I see the openning, I apply, but never get anything.
It's not right.

There doesn't have to be an opening at a station when someone proposes a proven successful unique local weekly specialty show like Barry's "Lost 45's", and the station decides to go for it. He wasn't just applying to be one of their regular jocks doing their regular format, they had no openings for their regular format, that's why there was no opening listed. He will be doing his weekly specialty show "The Lost 45's" Sunday evenings 6 to 10 PM (not full time).
 
Because I give feedback, and program ideas to my boss, but I get no full time job :'( . It's not fair, not right. :(
Later on, when it's too late, Program Managemnet will be in their meetings, shaking their heads "no" while scratching their heads lightly, while saying :-[ "Lauro was right, we should've listened to him" :-[

Personally, if any Greater Media station goes all-Christmas this year, it should be Soft AC WMJX-106.7.

In most cities, it's the Soft AC station that goes all-Christmas. In fact, WMJX may have been the only major market Soft AC format last year that didn't go all-Christmas.

I have a feeling Clear Channel's WHBA-101.7 will go all-Christmas quite early this year (perhaps even on November 1dst), which may force either WROR or WMJX and CBS Radio's WBMX-104.1 to "take the plunge" within minutes of WHBA doing so to prevent the latter from grabbing those listeners who want Christmas music around the clock.

It's no secret that in cities where there are multiple all-Christmas stations that the second (or even third) all-Christmas station usually flips within minutes of the first.
 
Boston Radio Watch reports (with its bad grammar and typos...it could have been written by people who post on these boards ::) ) that Lost 45s will air from 6pm to 10pm the first two weeks with the Top 100 Countdown. After that, it will air from 7pm to 10pm.

According to the story, Lost 45s, since initially starting on WERS in 1982, has aired almost continously on commercial radio since 1985:

WZLX 100.7 (September 1985-February 1992)
WBOS 92.9 (April 1992-May 1993)
WBMX 98.5 (May 1993-July 1997)
WEGQ/Eagle 93.7 (July 1997-April 1999)
WROR 105.7 (May 2001-December 2001)
WODS 103.3 (December 2001-June 2012).

Looks like there was no radio home from April 99 to May 2001. It's been online since 1999. And it's apparently heard in syndication on a couple dozen stations across the country.
