QuickCheck: WILD 1090 AM Stereo Boston | January 13, 2004 (5:34)
“Unity Through Music - Ten-Nine-Oh, WILD Boston…”!
This Soul station has been around for a very long time. Several years ago, the Nash family sold out to Radio One, which has continued the Urban formatting and remains one of the few remaining AM Stereo signals in Boston.
Considering the work done by Radio One to constantly improve their FM station, once known as Country 97.7 WCAV, now Urban WBOT, one has to wonder what will happen to this daytime-only station that still pulls numbers in the city despite being on AM. With that in mind, now’s probably a good time to post an AM Stereo aircheck from WILD.
With IBOC just a few short years away from being fully implemented, this may be very rare indeed!
56kbps connection highly recommended.

WILD is a legend in Boston and truly a great radio station. This is Rick Anderson on this aircheck, long-time PM driver on WILD. Great jock, great music, great station. Thanks for posting this and sharing it with the rest of the world, Steve!
As a former afternoon jock with this outlet (1976-1979) it’s good to hear it’s still going strong. Let me know if you ever need some classic airchecks from that era. Back then, we were the only game in town at a time when dance music caught fire. At one point we actually hit the top ten for a couple of rating periods.
This station has some great history!
As The last live morning man at this station( along with Coach, Rose Arruda, Nikki Strong, and guest appearances from comedian Johnathan Gates-2000)., I have fond memories of working with “Bernie” and the close knit community that strongly supported the station. Boston is a wonderful place and i miss it dearly. I heard a brief clip from “Coach” at the very beginng of this check. It’s good to know that the station is still going strong. I wish them all the best!
