History?[edit]

While I have no doubt all our hard work will be obliterated by CBS flacks once the new station's info is locked down, does anyone have any info on the station back in the 70s & 80s? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ttenchantr (talk • contribs) 2009-07-14

I merged the 1960s/1970s text in from the WMJX article. And as for the flacks: It wouldn't be very wise of them to violate WP:COI and WP:NPOV guidelines right now since, considering the way CBS Radio needs to position the new WBZ-FM agaist WEEI and ESPN, the worst thing that could happen to them in Boston right now is for the station to get an immediate Internet reputation for being driven by astroturfing and corporate robo-content. --Closeapple (talk) 09:13, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reasoning for my content reorganization[edit]

The history of past incarnations of WBZ-FM didn't fit on this article; neither one suggested a link to each other beyond the same callsign. As is now general practice, the history of broadcast licenses take precedence over intellectual property, as seen in my recent revisions for WRKO and WBIX. Please consult the articles pertaining to seven radio stations in Greater Cleveland, Akron, Ohio and Canton, Ohio that had their licenses and assets exchanged between three different ownership groups, they are treated as having their callsigns and formats changed and on- and off-air personnel being reassigned: 2001 in radio and the related articles; WKNR, WHK (AM), WHKW, WAKS, WFHM, WKDD and WCLV.
