Ah, WBZ!! I listened to it at night regularly in the mid-1960's.
The DJ was named "Juicy" Brucie Bradley, and they had an ongoing
campaign to rename "sandwiches" to "Shrewsburys". They always premiered
new chart-climbers about 2-3 weeks before any of the stations in my area
(Detroit). It was an easy catch at night even on my
cigarette-pack-sized transistor radio.

You also mentioned WOWO in Fort Wayne. That was one I could get
daytime on the five-tube, if conditons were right. The excitement of
getting a station from *that far away!!* (yeah - it was all of 150 miles
:) is what hooked me on DX, which logically led to shortwave the
following year.

I to remember Juicy Bruce Bradley, listening to him on my tiny Ross
Transistor Radio. (Which I still have). But I don't remember the campaign to
rename the sandwich. Must of been before I started listening on a regularly.

Most of my listening was done on my Crosley Console MW and SW complete with
78 rpm phonograph. I wish I still had that old radio. I've never ever seen
another one like it. Someone left it out on the side of the road as trash,
and my brother and I carried it home and cleaned it up and it worked
perfectly.
