WHAT'S THIS? "NORTH SHORE 104.9" HIRES ENTIRE AIR PERSONALITY ROSTER?

E

Early Byrd

This morning, Charlie Curtis, morning host at North Shore 104.9, asked listeners if they heard some of the new members of their on-air staff, and rattled off about 4 or 5 names that supposedly started yesterday. Anybody have more info?
 
I just heard him mention the names at the end of his show. I didn't catch them all, but one was JJ McKay. Looks like they may be going with a dial global service outside of mornings? That's where that name seems to show up when googling...

It makes sense that it would be that sort of thing. It would be hard to imagine a station of that
size actually hiring additional bodies, when just the opposite has been going on in the industry for quite some time now.
 
To me it sounds like the new voice guy is the same as the one heard on 92.1/1540 WXEX up in the Portsmouth area. I believe WXEX used elements of Dial Global when they first went on the air.

It also seems WBOQ's format has adjusted to more of a standard classic hits format (the oldies style, not WROR/WFRQ's classic rock lite). There's already a complaint or two on their facebook page.
 
It's definitely now a satellite delivered classic hits feed after the live morning drive and mid-day. Too bad (in my opinion), I liked the variety of oldies/classic hits on their former automated playlist.
 
Looks like overnights are still the deep automated playlist. I'm listening right now and have heard "Shannon," "You're a Wonderful One," and the long version of Andrew Gold's "Lonely Boy," definitely not standard classic-hits fare. I'd imagine they're still using the in-house playlist online during Red Sox games as well. No way of checking playlist history now, as the website log appears to have been terminated as of about 50 hours ago.
