Oldies 103 brings back Tom Kent; Patrick Callahan sent back to weekends

W

WMC2006

WODS makes night changes yet again. According to oldies1033.com (and from listening earlier tonight), Tom Kent is back from 7pm-midnight and Patrick Callahan has been sent back to the weekend crew and will, presumably, continue his early Saturday morning 7am-9am countdown show.

What a roller coaster ride for Patrick the last several months: beached by WODS early last year; picked up for weekends on WROR; back to Oldies for weekends; then to Oldies nights when Mike Finnegan was beached; now back to weekends again.

It's no surprise that Patrick wasn't kept on weeknights. They started with Kent last fall, and then brought Patrick back to evenings temporarily just to do the "holiday" music format and then he got to stay a few more weeks for the Top 500 and the A-Z specialty stuff, but the long-term plan since last fall was to go with Kent, and no longer pay an evening talent salary.
 
I stopped listening to 103 after hearing the same Christmas songs over and over within a 3 or 4 hour period. I switched to Magic 106 at least late at night someone will tell you what it's doing outside at 3am weatherwise.

Are WMJX and WROR (Albert O., weeknights only) the only two commercial stations in the Boston market left with live, local overnight hosts, not running jockless music or syndicated or otherwise canned or voicetracked programming?

Are there any other live, local overnight survivors in the area? (I know WATD in Marshfield has live overnight DJ's, but they're not paid).

We have a live and local overnight jock on Mix, Mike Vining.

Because Mix is Boston's EAS primary station, I believe it has to remain staffed 24/7, although it can be run by a board-op (as was done when the station was running "Leeza at Night" several years ago).
