Visiting area..

K

knoxbob

I will be visiting the Boston area around the 4th of July this year and if someone could give me information about the stations in the area it would be appreciated. Our main area we will be staying in is Mattapoisett, I enjoy listening to oldies/classic hits are their any stations programming that up there? Also are there any small town stations still doing "live" and local radio so I can dial hop while I'm sitting on the beach and sample what they are doing.

Thanks in advance.

Since Mattapoisett is part of the Providence/New Bedford market, you're sure to generate many more replies if you were to re-post your search for information over on the Providence board.

Anyway....Here's my two cents.

For what passes for oldies and classic hits around here, you've really only got "B-101" (WWBB 101.5, Providence), and WODS 103.3 in Boston.

There's also a locally produced brokered-time program on Sunday mornings, 10 am to 1 pm, over on suburban AM station WARL-1320. The program, called "Guido & the Doo-Woppers" features music from the very early years of Rock & Roll, as well as harmonies and Doo-Wop.

For stations still doing "live and local" radio....both 630-WPRO in Provdence and 1480-WSAR in Fall River do very lively local news-talk formats, and probably come closest to giving you a real flavor of what the area is like.

If you're into sports....then you HAVE to check out Boston's WBZ-FM 98.5 ("The Sports Hub").

Hope this helps a bit. As I mentioned before....try posting again over on the Providence board, where your search for help will get better exposure.
 
Try WZLX Boston 100.7, sometimes they play some REAL good stuff, sometimes they get stuck in the Steely Dan, Tom Petty, and Fleetwood Mac mode.
