C

CrankyYankee

While he made his living as a lawyer, Mr. Bent made his name as part of the "Sportscope" trio that hosted a talk show on various radio stations from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s... the show initially was broadcast on WBOS-FM late each Sunday night... before moving to a Monday through Friday, 7 p.m. to midnight, shift on WITS and later a 9 a.m. to noon show on WMRE. They had also broadcast on WITS and WEEI.

Are you sure that the show originated on WBOS-FM? In those days, talk was rare on commercial FM's much less sports talk. I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Globe got it wrong, and "Sportscope" actually started on WBOS-AM, home of Kenny Mayer's Sunday-at-midnight show.
