Scott Fybush makes the bigtime in Worcester

W

WMC2006

I posted this on the Massachusetts radio board as well but since no one reads that one, I'm posting here too.

There's a nice article in the business section of the Sunday Worcester Telegram about Scott and his tower calendars. The calendar features WTAG's transmitter site in Holden for the month of May. The article ends with sort of a backhanded compliment. I would suggest we all chip in to buy a few dozen cases of calendars and ship them to this guy as our backhanded compliment.

Scott is a true, big time radio authority. He very much reminds me of Claude Hall, Billboard Magazine's Radio guy. Back when Billboard was THE source, everybody read his articles as a priority.

The calendars are great. I have all of them. Money well spent!

I think that if the Telegram and Gazette still owned WTAG, he would have been more careful with the "backhanded compliment". But, that's just my opinion. ;)

(Where is Julie and Johnny when you need them?)
 
The item on the Massachusetts board provided a link to the Worcester T&G story. I liked the reference to "guide wires" (should have been "guy wires". Once, when I was hiking in NH with some friends, I walked up to one of the cables holding up a non-broadcast tower and said "Hi, guys". My companions on that occasion moved swiftly away). Scott was quoted as finding cellular towers "ugly". In recent years, some FM stations have attached their antennas to cellular towers, the most recent: WBOQ-104.9 in Topsfield. Does a tower go from "ugly" to "pretty" if a broadcast station installs an antenna on it?
 
Oh I don't know, lots of bigtime stuff has happened here in Worcester and Worcester County like...ummm...you know....like...uhhhh....the American Idols Live summer concert stops here at the DCU Center nearly every year. I mean, that's bigtime, isn't it? I mean, isn't it?? :D
 
Don't forget that Pearl Jam & Phish played two shows each at the newly renovated DCU Center in the past couple of months! And One of Boston's favorite rock stations, WAAF, got its start at 34 Mechanic Street in downtown Worcester!
