  WBZ (AM)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
WBZ radio, which broadcasts at 1030 kHz, is the oldest surviving commercial radio station in New England, starting in 1921 (a smaller operation has been forgotten by history).
WBZ has consistently been the #1 station in the Boston market for decades, and was the home for a great many years of talkmaster David Brudnoy until the day before his death in 2005.
Additionally, during the 1970s, WBZ was one of a number of clear channel AM stations that petitioned to be allowed to increase their power; WBZ would have used half a megawatt out of Provincetown, Massachusetts to reach all of New England during the day.

WBZ was founded at the Westinghouse plant in East Springfield, Mass, in 1921.
WBZ also operated a shortwave station at this time, called WBOS; the abandoned antenna supports were visible at the Hull site until their demolition in 1995.
WBZ's weekends went through a series of transitions in the nineties, with a heavy focus on sports from 1993 (around the time of a failed attempt to buy all-sports WEEI) until 1999, when the station hired additional news staff and expanded its all-news format to weekend middays and afternoons.
