RIP WBCN, 1958-2009

Image from Wikipedia.

WBCN, a staple of Boston's rock music scene for about 40 years, will disappear in August as CBS Radio switches Mix 98.5 to 104.1 FM and converts 98.5 to an all-sports format with call letters WBZ-FM. The station will carry Patriots games, Bruins games and will retain WBCN's morning duo, Fred Toucher and Rich Shertenlieb/"Toucher & Rich". WBCN's playlists will still be played online at http://www.wbcn.com/.
