Here’s part 1 of the much anticipated WBZ Boston 90th anniversary celebration. Radio historian (and freelance news reporter) Scott Fybush guests on the Steve LeVeille Broadcast at 12 midnight, Monday, September 19, 2011. Listen as they talk about the history of WBZ, from its first broadcast at the Eastern States Exposition in Springfield in 1921, to the WBZ/WBZA combo station from Springfield and Boston, to Fybush’s days as a news writer for veteran news anchor Gary LaPierre. There’s plenty more to come, including full newscasts from CBS radio and the first three minutes of Boston’s Morning News at 5:01 AM at the end of part two!
This is the first two hours of the program. Part 2 will feature the final three hours of the Steve LeVeille broadcast from this day.
Steve LeVeille’s overnight show on WBZ-1030 is one of the few live local overnight talk shows left on radio anywhere in North America.
And the station did a great job celebrating it’s 90th anniversary.
