defunct boston stations that need another chance???

WXRV (The River) maintained what AAA was supposed to be: free form adult alternative with a free to play what the DJ's wanted playlist.

According to a couple of DJ’s I knew who worked there, that was never entirely true.

DJ’s were given a playlist that was required to be followed, with the exception of two songs per hour that were the DJ’s choice, but those two could only be chosen from an approved master playlist.

Yes, introduce a new format on 92.5. I was thinking some kind of Rhythmic Station at the time. Probably something that was not entirely unlike Star 93.7 around that time. But the exact format could vary widely, that is in which the new station would actually be. My other thought was after the frequency move, just selling off 92.5 instead.

Oh well, my bad! It still had more variety than the regulated playlist that WBOS had.

Yes, WBOS became the tightest, narrowest playlisted AAA station I ever heard.
