said by JRSlater:WBLM is still on the air? Wow. It was 107.9 I think when I was in high school. The Blimp! I understand it was sold at some point and changed to 102.9. Interesting what memories come flooding in with the mere mention of numbers.
It was NEVER sold!
107.5 which it was on forever, was a low power antennae. (like 35,000 watts) They wanted to upgrade to more power; applied to the FCC, which denied them. So, what they did was SWITCH FREQUENCIES with a station that had 100,000 watts, 102.9. The other station went over to 107.5.
So, now BLM is STILL on the air on 102.9 and covers a HUGE amount of New England, including (but not always) down to Boston) I've been able to listen to it on the way down sooo...
They broadcast every single Patriots game so if you are away from the TV, you have that option.... if you can get it.
Edit: It still goes by the Blimp sometimes. "It's the Blimp Frank, it's the Blimp!"
