The BostonRadio.org server was down for a while today so
that it could be moved to a new location. Thanks to CSAIL's
Anthony Zolnik for providing a new (old) rack for the server.
There will probably be another outage later this year when the
server is moved to a more permanent facility. Also of note,
some galleries of old photos have recently been added,
including Upstate
New York, June 2001, Big
Trip 2001: Louisville and Lexington, and Los
Angeles, December 2004.
Donna Halper has provided an updated version of her essay,
“Some John Shepard
History”. Coming next week in the photo
galleries: a New York City day-trip with stops at WNYC, the
new Clear Channel studios, and WPIX.
New (old) photo gallery: More
Boston AMs, March 2006 shows the inside of WWZN, WBIX,
WKOX, WRCA, and WUNR (pre-construction). Thanks to Grady
Moates for the tours.
3 June 2007:
New photo gallery: Brighton
Studioplex shows the multitude of broadcast facilities
which currently call the area around Market Street and Western
Avenue home, including the massive new WGBH radio and TV
studios at 1 Guest Street. (Sorry, no inside shots.)
As we continue our site improvement drive, we are pleased to
present new profiles of WAAF (107.3
Westborough) and its simulcast sister WKAF (97.7 Brockton). Many
existing station profiles have also been updated—check
the date at the bottom of each page to find out if your
favorite profile was one of them.
Finally, something new to announce! Thanks to the efforts
of one Mr. Fybush, we now have station profiles for WMKK (93.7 Lawrence) and WCRB (99.5 Lowell).
17 October 2006:
Ever wonder what the historians whose work you read here and
elsewhere actually look like? Wonder no more, as we present
a new photo gallery from the Fessenden
Symposium which was held at the Winslow House in
Marshfield a few Saturdays ago.
20 September 2006:
Before we present you the second of the two galleries first
promised last June, have a look at this August's Reginald
A. Fessenden Centennial Celebration and Awards Dinner.
The honoree at the dinner was WBZ's Gary LaPierre, who retires
this December after forty years with the station.
Continuing our look at older photos, we bring you the Sights
and sites of Worcester. Don't worry, Donna, your timeline
updates will be done soon!
26 March 2006:
In honor of WFNX's impending move to One Financial Center,
and in memory of the Asher family's fifty years of service to
the cities of Quincy and Salem, we present one
last look at WESX and WJDA and a first peek at the new
WFNX. In our continuing effort to reduce the backlog of
photo galleries, we also bring you a few Los
Angeles sites from last December. (Yes, I know that
L.A. is a bit far afield for this site, but where else am I
going to put it?)
12 February 2006:
Over the past two months, we've been hard at work on
technical improvements to the Archives. The first of those
improvements is now on line: a semantic search facility for
our photo
galleries allows you to find
photos depicting specific people. Over the coming
weeks, we'll be adding other kinds of searches, including a
search for station photos by facility or antenna ID number,
which will allow us to add photos back to the station
profile pages.
