WBZ Station ID at 4 AM and network news.

For those of us Glicknicks who lived some distance from the WBZ transmitter, areas where the station would fade in and out, like
here in Ohio, you may recall every hour or so in the background
you could hear the notes of a musical jingle from another radio station.

I often wondered what station it was.

It wasn’t WHO Des Moines, Iowa on 1040, which we clearly hear fading
in often on the clips posted on this page.

I tuned into Larry one morning after 4am while he was reading a
letter from a listener.

He was telling Larry about that same musical jingle.

The listener explained to Larry that it was a very powerful radio
station in the Caribbean.
(this is from my memory of 35 years ago, there may be something I forgot)

That same musical jingle can be heard throughout the clips that
are posted on our podcast page.
