Description

Boston’s radio history begins with pioneering station 1XE/WGI, one among The united states’s first radio stations, and includes the primary station to receive a commercial license, WBZ; the primary FM radio network, W1XOJ and W1XER; and probably the most first news networks, the Yankee News Service. Nationally known bandleaders like Joe Rines and Jacques Renard were first heard on Boston radio, as was once probably the most first weathercasters, E. B. Rideout. The town has been home to quite a lot of legendary announcers, such as Bob and Ray, Arnie Ginsburg, Dick Summer, Dale Dorman, and Charles Laquidara; talk show giants like Jerry Williams and David Brudnoy; and sports talkers like Eddie Andelman and Glenn Ordway. Many Boston radio personalities, such as Curt Gowdy, “Big Brother” Bob Emery, Don Kent, and Louise Morgan, found fame on tv but first established themselves on Boston’s airwaves. Since 1920, Boston radio has remained vibrant, proving that reside and local stations are as necessary as ever.
