B101 TURNS 20

I agree with what others have said, but I would add that this applies to other markets; the best word to describe the state of New England radio is, indeed, "stale."  Flip around -- same formats -- even going out-of-market, I find that a song that played on 105. shows up on 96.1 several minutes later, or vice-versa.  The homogenization of radio has taken the fun out of it.  630 can be compelling, if the topic is, but 920 offers NOTHING in the form of a compelling challenge -- same people, same schtick.  With the market as it is, there's very little hope for change or improvement, sadly.

That the same Dick McDonough who was (or still is) on WMAS-FM in Springfield, MA?

CITADEL cut him loose when budget cuts hit the station earlier this year.

For my taste, he is the perfect midday guy.

Which was what he did until Citadel cut him loose when budget cuts hit WMAS-FM in Springfield earlier this year.

Went to school in Boston with Dick (63-65) always was great personality on and off the air.  One of the good guys.

I worked with Dick during my tenure at WMAS.. I agree with Jimmy.. Dick was a Top Class act!
