On this day, September 19, 1921, WBZ started broadcasting.

1. WBZ in Boston, Massachusetts. I remember this well,...

... while growing up in and around the Boston area as a kid. Many moons ago.

WBZ Night Train Show with Arnie, "Woo-Woo Ginsburg".

(snip)

This 40 minute aircheck of Arnie "Woo-Woo" Ginsburg was recorded between 11:20pm and midnight on Saturday, July 22, 1972.

This was a special "Grease" weekend that WBZ honored some of the old radio legends of the 1950s and 1960s. Of course Woo-Woo Ginsburg was well know in the Boston area for his Night Train show that aired on Boston competitor WMEX in the 1960s.

This aircheck is way too brief, but brings us up to the top of the midnight hour and the very beginning of the WBZ newscast 1981 with Streeter Stuart. Dick Biondi followed the news for 6 hours, Dick Biondi's almost 5 hours recording is here

This recording was recorded by me onto 1-1/2 sides of a generic cassette tape. The quality is marginal at times, the tape quality suffered over the years and I transferred the tapes to CDs back in 2003 (it's now 2020).
