WODS
103.3, 105.7 a bit late with early Xmas music this year
By adamg - 11/18/10 - 8:35 amBoston Radio Watch reports WODS went all-Christmas, all-the-frickin'-time today, just minutes after traditional Xmas-till-you-drop rival WROR. Both were beaten this year by a Providence station.
It's 70 degrees out and 103.3 is playing Christmas music
By adamg - 10/28/10 - 1:50 pmIs it time for my annual boycott of Karen Blake already? Gah!
UPDATE: OK, they haven't gone to All Xmas All the Time yet, it's for some contest where they play "one of our many versions 'Santa Clause Is Coming to Town' " and if you're the 20th caller you win just enough money to replace the radio you've flung to the ground in disgust.
If WODS went off the air, would anybody notice?
By adamg - 6/24/10 - 9:30 amEquipment failure knocked WODS off the air between 6 and 7 this morning.
A little bit of sunshine for you Al Kaprelian fans
By adamg - 1/11/10 - 1:04 pmKaprelian will be doing the weather on Friday mornings on the :55s on Oldies 103.3 with Zito and Karen Blake.
H/t Maureen Carney.
Thanksgiving? What's that?
By adamg - 11/13/09 - 2:11 pmScanning FM in the car just now, I heard Bing Crosby crooning a Christmas song. Yes, Oldies 103.3 has gone into all-Christmas mode just in time for Thanksgiving. Lin Dolin reports 105.7 thinks it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, too.
Let's all give a big hearty golf clap to WODS for its amazing self-restraint: Last year, they started in on this stuff on Nov. 6.
I'm dreaming of an annoying playlist, done to death by Christmastime ...
By adamg - 11/6/08 - 11:38 amBob Nelson reports that WROR beat WODS this morning for the title of "First Boston Station to Start Playing Christmas Music Way Too Early." They must be so proud.
Uncle Dale replaced by Uncle Bob
By adamg - 9/19/08 - 1:36 pmThe Herald reports Oldies 103.3 is replacing Dale Dorman with Bob Lobel. Bob Lobel? Yes, Bob Lobel. He'll be hosting what the station describes as a "very fresh" drivetime show with Karen Blake. No word if it's all talk or if we'll get to hear Lobel introduce the music you grew up with.
No more Dale in the morning?
By adamg - 9/13/08 - 10:40 amDale Dorman out from drive time on Oldies 103? His photo is already gone from the Weekday Crew section of the station's DJ page.
Deck the halls with boughs of folly ...
By adamg - 11/12/07 - 12:05 pmOh yeah, it's Veterans Day, so what better time for Oldies 103 to go all Christmas all the time?
