The Freemasons must be getting really desperate.

On the drive home last night, with the radio set on Scan, I stopped on 'AAF for some reason. And then one of those Ben Franklin "Is there greatness within you (and do you have a penis)?" commercials came on. Who knew that last year alone, 200 Harvard men answered the call?

After Ben faded away, 'AAF played a promo for one of its "long sets" that featured Beavis and Butthead simulacrums going "He said 'long,' heh heh."

Just what Boston needs: More heavy metal

The Globe reports that WILD-FM will soon become a repeater station for WAAF, the better to reach headbangers on the South Shore (WILD-AM will remain as is).

John Daley sighs:

WILD has been a Roxbury radio station for as long as I can remember. Now it has been sold and will, unfortunately, go from being a city station to being a booster for suburban rock music fans.

It's official: WAAF now sucks

Bad enough that it basically became a 'BCN clone. But when Ryan heard "Sweet Home Alabama" on 'AAF, he shed a tear for 'AAF and Boston radio.

Too much Ozzie

Borderline doesn't understand why WBCN and WAAF insist on playing so much Ozzy Osbourne - it's not like their 18-34 demographic is going to know him as anything other than that kooky reality-show guy:

... There are not enough 40-year-olds out there who will wax nostalgic while listening to "Crazy Train" in their Altimas as they drive home on the Pike.

And besides, if you're going to play something from 1982 during peoples' commute, wouldn't The Cars be more appropriate?
