I can take you back even farther --- indeed it was WFMP, a country station; before that, it was WBNE-FM (also country, the first one around IIRC, back in the '60s), and before that, WFGM-FM, the sister station to what is now WFGL (AM) in Fitchburg. It didn't move its COL to Worcester until at least the '80s. The guy who started the station, George Chatfield, was very much a "think outside the box" person. He could see the potential for FM way back in the mid-'60s, when the Worcester Telegram & Gazette sold off WTAG-FM (now WSRS) and Westinghouse sold off WBZ-FM (WMJX) because neither thought FM was going anywhere.

It still isn't licensed to Worcester...
 
Just curious...When was WBNE-FM Country? I moved to that area in 1966....and WBNE-FM was a full time simulcast of MOR station WFGM-AM 960. In early 1967...WFGM became WFGL and WBNE-FM became WFMP....but still a full time simulcast of WFGL. It was around 1971 that WFMP became a full time Country station....broadcasting in mono! Country lasted until a sale in 1979...when WFMP became automated A/C..."M-104"....
