What's New

2 April 2008:
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.
5 February 2008:
New photo gallery: New York City day-trip, January 2008.
29 January 2008:
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.
31 December 2007:
Thanks to the generosity of Grady Moates, who came in on a Sunday to give us a tour, we have new photos of the WUNR/WKOX/WRCA construction in Oak Hill, Newton.
30 December 2007:
Working on making the display style of the site more consistent by better use of style sheets.
8 July 2007:
See the demolition of the old WGBH Western Avenue pedestrian bridge from 7 July 2007.
6 June 2007:
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.)
28 May 2007:
New photo gallery: WUNR/WKOX/WRCA construction progress, Spring 2007
26 February 2007:
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.
25 February 2007:
And the hits just keep on coming! Or at least the new station profiles do. We are pleased to present WHRB (95.3 Cambridge) and WFNX (101.7 Lynn).
21 February 2007:
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.
1 June 2006:
The first of two new photo galleries from this past April shows some Historic Los Angeles hilltops.
28 March 2006:
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.
