WVBF "F105" 's linup?

I remember the original WVBF line up, from 1971-1972, including J. William Charles, (a WKOX-FM hold over), "Big John", Bud Ballou, Charlie Kendall and Bill Freeman (BLF Bash).

F-105 was one of the first FM's I heard as a kid. That and (I seem to remember) WBZ-FM 106.7.

No problem remembering WBZ-FM's lineup: Clark Smidt, "Captain" Ken Shelton and automation. My favorite Top 40 station to listen to in high school.

I didn't know BLF Bash was on Boston radio!
I went to college and listened to WMMS, and Bill Freeman had the graveyard at the Buzzard

He went to WMMS, at some point later in the '70s, after WVBF became more of a Top 40 station, and Top 40 in general, became much more disco heavy. He started as one of the original VBF jocks, in 1971, when the station, was outstanding.
It was a high energy Top 40/AOR hybrid by day, and essentially progressive rock, at night. Unfortunately, I read on the Cleveland board, a couple of years ago, that BLF is out of radio, and working at Kmart these days...WVBF's predecessor on 105.7-WKOX-FM was a pretty decent station too. It was a live Top
40 station, with a very broad play list....They were around from January, 1969, until the switch to WVBF, in July, 1971...
