they used to have both 105.7 and 96.9 back in the early 90s

WBOS is doing better than WBMX, so I'm not sure why they'd flip to a format that's not doing as well as their current format
Also not sure why people want WBOS to flip and not WBMX...the BOS ratings are pretty solid for an Alt. station (which probably has a very wealthy demographic)

Suicide in the current economic climate. And maybe beyond, if the advertisers don't come back to radio from wherever they've been (the internet? cable TV? in survival mode and not advertising at all?) after the recession is over.

Please see WEMP and WWWN for confirmation of the above.
It was just only ideas, nothing to hurt no one, only ideas. I didn't mean to cause trouble
FreeForm BCN is the answer ....
Yesterday I heard Joan Jett's "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" on WBOS, and I've heard a few songs by the Cars on as well. Maybe a subtle adjustment to win over some former Mike FM listeners?

That's a ton of cume (850,000+) looking for other options on a weekly basis...it is a smart move.
WERS has a live jock on air 24/7/365. And 366 on a leap year. Music is on the hard drive, but everyone is live and pushing the buttons. No VT, no robo dj.
Of course, you can afford that when your on-air staff isn't being paid!
I see no problem with a commercial operation VT-ing the overnights from 12-5am, as long as the other shifts are at least live. But, VT your next air talent there, so they can grow and become your next midday jock or even AM drive personality. Don't VT someone who already has a damn job in NYC on your overnights. Use that time as a farm system to grow your talent. But that would be smart, and looking towards the future, not just a balance sheet for the next quarter.
