Third Decade mourns the passing of WILD-FM:
... Jam'n 94.5 is so corny that Hot 97.7 was my alternative on FM. I appreciated their gospel Sundays, the Time Tunnel (old school soul and R&B), and the daily mainstream hip hop and R&B. ...

For someone like Third Decade, Emerson College's WERS will probably be the best FM alternative. Rockers (the reggae show) starts at 4pm and 88.9 at plays hip-hop. All commercial free. Jazz Oasis and the world music based Gyroscope are worth a listen, too.

Ugh. That show replaced their great "Fuse box" show in the late '80s.
Unforgivable, IMO.

Thanks for the suggestion, tblade. I used to listen to WERS a lot more when WILD was only on AM. Looks like I'll be heading back.

well, LA just lost its only country station.
radio is a weird industry to me. crb is, sadly if you ask me, going to switch to a weaker signal while a country station takes over crb's old frequency. both stations have about the same arbitron ratings.
waaf is taking over wild even though both stations have about the same ratings (and both are smaller than crb and blk or whatever the country station is).
What explains these moves? country is more lucrative than classical (which makes sense, I guess) and rock more lucrative than R&B? Or is the latter because waaf's worcester audience doesn't show up in the boston ratings, making it stronger than what the boston ratings suggest?
