At Midnight, they went straight into 'Zooropa' by U2, no imaging, no anything. Would a song like this really fit a Variety Hits format? Or are they still stunting here?
 
They must be stunting, because now they're playing another U2 song from the same album. Is it possible Clear Channel has no earthly clue what they are going to put on the frequency, as crazy as that sounds?
 
Zombie - The Cranberries

A reverse A to Z countdown?!

These entries are showing on WFNX.com on their playlist page + TuneGenie page - so these are definitely WFNX selections.
 
could be just running the fnx automation again for now and doing technical tune ups.

Am pretty sure that the signal w/ CC control would emanate from Cabot Rd in Medford and at one point the Exchange St. Lynn studios the Phoenix has will pull the plug. (And I'd think they won't renew lease. Heck they can do the webstream from their Boston office, why pay for the Lynn one)

"Tune in for Boston's Best Alt Rock, WFNX.com" just put in
 
twitter observations:
>>Signal is horrible 20 mi west, and I'm hearing processing changes. CC definitely has the keys and is making tweaks. (radio insight)

>>Correct. The techs are probably in the process of linking transmitter in downtown Boston to Clear Channel's Medford studios. (bostonradio)
 
Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie  followed by Zero - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - does seem like a Z to A  -

we'll see how long this keeps up on-air, while I suppose it will continue unabated on the WFNX webstream.

I can confirm that what is on air now is coming from Medford - not Lynn.

They down to W as of 1:28 AM - last on air ID was WFNX Lynn-Boston but it sounded like a tech saying it to keep it legal.
 
I've never heard Ryan Adam's haunting version of "Wonderwall" on WFNX until this moment.

Going back to midnight, "Zooropa" would have been a great kick-off song for a 80s/90s classic-Modern AC-based hits format.
 
Fenway how can you confirm anything?

Definitely someone improvising the WFNX ID a moment ago. Plus, the music is not really typical WFNX music; too grunge-heavy, a little downbeat, and not enough eccentric WFNX hits. Seems very 90s-centric; more like Radio 92.9.
 
too funny! I guess CC is updating the FNX website's "now playing" page too?!?!?!?
