VINTAGE PICTURE OF BOSTON RADIO PEOPLE IN OCTOBER 1955!

E

Early Byrd

I came across this picture of prominent Boston radio personalities from various radio stations in the Fall of 1955. Shown, among others, is a very young Dave Maynard, Ken Malden, Alan Dary, Jay Masters, Ken Wayne, etc.

For the record, WORL is now WROL (950 AM), Boston; WBMS is now WILD (1090 AM), Boston; WTAO is now WJIB (740 AM), Cambridge; WMEX is now WWZN (1510 AM), Boston; and WHIL is now WKOX (1430 AM), Everett.

It's truly amazing to realize how many of these outlets were DAYTIME-ONLY stations that had no post-sunrise authorizations at all...it's possible that WORL and WHIL might have had PRE-sunrise authorizations, as if that meant much.
 
Wow! I remember when Dave Maynard's trademark was his crew cut. Alan Dary, if I remember, hosted a show called "Boston Movietime" every afternoon on Channel 4(I think). The rest are before my time. I wonder why WBZ was not represented. I'm pretty sure that Carl DeSuze was at WBZ in 1955.

I remember buming into Dave Maynard in a hospital waiting room. No one there knew who he was except me, and he looked the same, he was surprised I recognized him. We sat and talked about old TV and radio for about 20 minutes before he was called.

A very interesting guy.
