Open House Party!
I thought that John Garabedian co-owned the station with Arnie "Woo Woo" Ginsberg also. That station was a great idea! It was just unfortunate that the station was unable to make a profit.
BTW, is WXXX still broadcasting?
If I recall correctly, they very regularly lose good talent going to larger markets instead.
66 has been owned by Univision for almost 20 years!
OK, my bad! However, I really thought I was still seeing HSH OTA. Perhaps it might be because they are still on a reasonably low number on the cable systems instead?
You’re now confusing 68 with 62.
After researching this a little bit, Channel 66 (WUNI) is virtual. It is somehow intertwined with DT Channel 27 instead.
Virtual just usually means the old analog channel number. WUNI and WUTF swapped calls and programming a couple years ago. WUNI virtual 66, RF channel 27’s history goes back to WVJV. WUTF virtual 27, RF 19 goes back to WHLL/WSMW.
And WMEX, too. He also owned an AM in his hometown of Natick, WGTR, which I used to listen to from the North Shore when I was in high school. It had a primitive automation system that allowed John H. and Don Kelley (future PD of WMJX) to alternate long airshifts seven days a week.
