Hearing a promo on 'BCN talking about 'old friends'. Sounds like the players from 'BCN's glory days are returning to reminisce, should be gratifying to hear. The promo mentions Charles, Jerry Goodwyn, Shred, Greg Hawkes, Oedipus. Interesting that the list on the promo excludes a legendary afternoon drive announcer. Also would be interesting if Matty stopped in.

BCN Alum on air special

- Start date
WBZ-FM Sports Hub is to debut on Thu the 13th, same day as first Pats pre-season game. Mix 98.5 is due to move to
104.1 on Wed. so I would think 98.5 and 104.1 simulcast Mix on Wednesday. Not sure when the actual debut of
WBZ-FM is, as in time of day, but maybe it would start at noon on Thu.?
from mix985.com:
>>MIX IS MOVING UP…TO 104.1!
WHEN: AUGUST 12
WHERE: 104.1 FM

>>but NO Mark Parenteau !?
Mark talks about the rise and fall of WBCN in the Phoenix (he blames it on big corporate ownership, etc.; several people agree with him while others bring up his "coke habit" and serving a few years in the slammer for
child molestation)

Opie and Anthony Slammed CBS on XM this morning. No phone call or invite to the boys to join in. They mentioned being grouped with Mark " lick me" Parenteau and also mentioned Matty but could justify that since he works for the competition
Every year for awhile they'd have Peter Wolf as guest DJ in March, around the date they went undergroud rock.
That stopped. It was usually a big party on a Saturday night.
by the way, my station WMWM used to have an album by someone-- I think the last name began with W,
Werner or something?--and this promo copy album (which we got rid of a couple yrs ago) had something
called "The Good Ship 104" on it. It was a bunch of excerpts from WBCN programming...someone on the
phone says something crazy then we hear Charles, "ah lookit, hello...hello...hello?" And a song at the
end: "Laquidara in the morning, _____ without warning...on the good ship 104!"
It was some kind of promo thing. Anyone remember it>?
Link to the Globe bit about WBCN. They're not charging you to look at their site...yet.

Matty had Toucher and Rich on his show a few weeks ago.
How about early 'BCNers like "Mississippi" Harold Wilson and Tommy Hadges? Of all the names mentioned in this thread, I think Charles is the only link to those days.
maybe I missed it but, in the Globe article, it said Peter Wolf wasn 't invited. How come?
Howard Stern mentioned something this morning on SirusXM about doing a recorded tribute to WBCN this week that will air before the format flip..
