One of my prized possessions is this aircheck I received from Contributor Steve McVie about 2 years ago. WEEI-FM, soon after this aircheck to become WHTT, had been a favorite of mine as AC “Soft Rock 103″. Looking back to that era (I had just graduated from Mahar Regional High School in Orange, MA), I think it was New Year’s day or darn close to it, 1983 that the format flip to CHR occurred. It matters for historic purposes.

WEEI-FM as a CHR station was fantastic! Before the call letter change to WHTT later that year, “HitRadio 103″ as it was known really had quite a balanced playlist. It seems to me that station management kind of eased into CHR, musically speaking. After the call letter change, the music seemed much harder edged.

Oh well, I could talk to the moon forever concerning 103 FM back then. It was my favorite station that year. So, I’ll be quiet now and just let you listen to Rod West – a guy who would hang with HitRadio 103 FM for a couple of years, and the NEW WEEI-FM from 1/15/03!
