"Northshore 104.9" Sundays 8 PM Little Walter's Time Machine

"Northshore 104.9" Sundays 8 PM Little Walter's Time Machine

Got this memo from Walter. Don't know if I've asked this before, forgive me if I have:

1)is "Nortshore 104.9" WBAC or did they change their call letters?

http://www.wbach.com/podcast.php

2)Which direction does the signal favor?

3)I don't see Walter on the podcasts. Does one have to scroll through all his stations to
find a station that does archive the shows, or am I missing something on the WBACH.com site? which
points to the web

thanks

Hi Rock and Rollers,

It's that time of the month when I remind you about our "Oldies Weekend" at TERRA MARA. It's this weekend, Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th. Both nights there will be a rock and roll record hop at TERRA MARA, 159 Pelham street in Methuen. It's in the Guest House Suites Hotel, next to the Outback Steakhouse off I-93 at exit 47. You can't miss it. Get the gang together and let's have a party! See you then.
Keep Rockin',
Little Walter


PS Don't forget to listen to "Northshore 104.9" every Sunday night at 8 for Little Walter's Time Machine

"North Shore 104.9" has been WBOQ for many years. You've got the wrong website. Although WBOQ used to call themselves "W-Bach" back when they were classical, "North Shore 104.9" is not affiliated with the current WBACH or their website.

The WBOQ "North Shore 104.9" website is [url]http://www.northshore1049.com[/url]. The only podcasts on it are of a few local public affairs pieces, none of their music programming.

I don't know if any of the stations that run Walter's show nationally also podcast it. You'd have to find the websites of all his affiliates and check out each one.

You can get a rough idea of their signal coverage on this radio-locator map here, but this does not show the fact that the Northeastern University college station WRBB also at 104.9 cuts out or interferes with WBOQ anywhere within about five miles of Boston proper, which includes Cambridge, Brookline, parts of Somerville, and most of the City of Boston neighborhoods.
 
Re: "Northshore 104.9" Sundays 8 PM Little Walter's Time Machine

wboq.com redirects to the northshore1049.com site

I think in the classical days, they also did have the wbach.com site

In the case of WKLB btw, they have country995.com and may even keep that for awhile, redirecting to
their site, after the switch..and of course wklb.com

Someone already got country1025.com, probably a domain name squatter (just checked: someone in
the West Indies. No mention of Greater Media owning that d. name)

My hunch is that they'll accent "WKLB.com" as their website
 
Re: "Northshore 104.9" Sundays 8 PM Little Walter's Time Machine

Thank you Eli and Raccoon. Eli never ceases to amaze me.

Walter just dropped me a note that he's doing two weekends in a row 17 & 18 and now the 24 & 25th.
For a guy that just got out of the hospital to be using the voice again in the clubs is just great news.
Kinda like Little Joe Cook continuing to play the Cantab.

Mark the calendars, Little Walter at Terra Marra this weekend and next.
 
Re: "Northshore 104.9" Sundays 8 PM Little Walter's Time Machine

I went up to a concert in Newmarket, NH last night, about ten miles inland from Portsmouth on the coast, about ten miles north of Exeter. 104.9 was loud and clear all the way up from the North Shore to there, and it came in stronger up there than it does in the Boston area.

Heading back, it's strong and clear down to about the Revere Beach Parkway in Everett. It's still listenable after that, but not quite strong enough for consistent full stereo separation in the car. In Somerville, I began getting the interference from WRBB at Northeastern University.

I have heard it easily out to the Route 495 belt northwest and west of Boston as well, and down past Route 128 to the south, once you get south of the WRBB Northeastern interference in town. It's necessarily not strong enough for full stereo separation out in those areas (most car stereos these days automatically mix weaker stereo signals to mono to minimize static and noise), but it's certainly listenable.

I've heard it, very listenable, all the way to Grafton on the Mass Pike, and I can still tell the signal is there when I hit the Connecticut line on I-84. It disappears for good shortly thereafter.
 
Re: "Northshore 104.9" Sundays 8 PM Little Walter's Time Machine

Little Walter's Time Machine on WBOQ didn't start until 8:13 PM last night.

It was their regular automated soft-oldies format until 8:13, when the top of hour ID ran thirteen minutes late, and then it went into the recording of the syndicated Time Machine.

It sounded like their automation system programming got off of real time.
