*************************************************


It seems that 1510 WMEX Boston went silent at 
2200 GMT on 30th June. I listened to the last 75 
minutes of the broadcast via the web stream. The 
last show was ?Renegade Radio? presented by John 
Pica and Bryan Berner ? normally on from 6-10am, 
the show had a special edition from 3-6pm (EDT) 
to mark the end of broadcasting. The show 
mentioned the silence was due to ?the last day of 
the current station ownership?. The WMEX radio 
stream will become a Renegade Radio stream, and 
after 2200, the station?s web stream put out 
Renegade Radio highlights. There was no 
announcement ? the programme just ended and was 
followed by a few minutes? silence before the highlights show started.
