yo cutup, that's amazing stuff. Still can't believe that they're gone. Never came in well on the Cape, but it was all I listened to from the second I got over the bridge. My all-time favorite radio station, bar none. Didn't even mind waiting in the lots at Great Woods after a Pearl Jam show because I knew these guys were going to be playing last year's shows. Man, what a chasm.

WFNX Will Be Home For Oedipus’ Legendary Christmas Eve Show
Boston’s WFNX-FM will broadcast this year’s edition of the long-running Christmas Eve show hosted by legendary radio personality and programmer Oedipus. The show will again feature music from Oedipus’ carefully cultivated collection of holiday music, along with other exclusive Christmas-themed surprises from the show’s host, its listeners, and even the occasional world famous rock star. For over thirty years, it had been a fixture on the station’s now-defunct former rival WBCN.
“Christmas came early for me this year,” Oedipus said. “A Boston tradition lives on – Christmas music heard nowhere else – most appropriately on Boston ’s heritage alternative radio station, WFNX.”
WFNX vice-president of broadcast operations Mike Tierney said, “As one of Oedipus’ many friends and admirers, I was always aware of his Christmas Eve show and its loyal following. But until I started here this fall, I had no clue how much passion there was. Music lovers of all ages have been coming out of the woodwork, literally begging us to put it on WFNX. By the time Oedipus reached out to me, I couldn’t tell whether he was pitching me or if I should be pitching him.”
The Oedipus Christmas Eve show will air without commercial interruption on Thursday, December 24th, from 6pm until midnight. WFNX can be heard at 101.7 FM in Greater Boston, at 92.1 in New Hampshire , and streaming worldwide at http://www.wfnx.com/.

We used to have WHFS, which at one point was actually a really good station. Towards the end of the 90s their playlists got shittier and shittier, until there wasn't much difference between them and the local construction worker music station, 98ROCK. Then overnight they turned into a spanish station called EL ZOL.
Weirdly enough, about two weeks ago HFS returned out of nowhere with a lot of the same DJs and music, but now it's 97.5 instead of 99.1.

The dude who did the last BCN show is a host at the place I work. He has the original BCN program director on tonight and he just mentioned that.
