*************************************************
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 âRenegade Radioâ presented by John Pica and Bryan Berner â
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 âthe last day of the current station ownershipâ. The WMEX radio
stream will become a Renegade Radio stream, and after 2200, the
stationâs web stream put out Renegade Radio highlights. There was no
announcement â the programme just ended and was followed by a few
minutesâ silence before the highlights show started.
Towards the end of June evening talk programmes had been replaced with
oldies music.
Wikipedia reports that the station lost its transmitter site, but the
station audio in the final hours did not mention this and posts on
RadioDiscussions.com indicates that a transmitter site is still
available.
The FCC web site does not show any change.
