These two articles were messy before merge, and they seem to be simply placed into the article. I have tagged these areas for cleanup. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:32, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Men From Maine and Townie Tunes

They should have separate articles, so as the "Loren & Wally Show". --SportEditor 18:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

townie tunes-bad job all around

this merge is a rare example of wikipedia idiocy * which went on to slaughter the original article * the original recounted that the project began as a fundraiser for youth groups * and mentioned the number of and dates for releases instead of a mushed together song list * the best reason for unmerging the article is that the songs are in their own way close to genius of social commentary * and the voices are well done * where else will you hear the hard truth about towns ranging from brookline to revere * 75.147.48.65 (talk) 18:40, 25 October 2012 (UTC)grumpy

This article needs help, badly!

I looked up WROR because, growing up in eastern Massachusetts during the 1980s, it was my parents' favorite radio station. My dad in particular enjoyed a Saturday night call-in-requests oldies show that played music from the 50s and early 60s. I think Joe and Andy were the DJs but I was drawing a blank. They also did a morning shift where Joe was the "straight man" and Andy was the quirky, obnoxious one. I was hoping to find their names and more about them. This article has lots of history about all these other radio stations, but then in the middle toward the end, mentions WROR in passing!

As I remember it from my teenage years, WROR played the most middle-of-the-road top 40 songs (think "Break My Stride" by Matthew Wilder, ABC, "I Can Dream About You" by Dan Hartmen, Lionel Ritchie, etc.) - I remember hearing Def Leppard and the Tubes a few times and thinking that was "way out" by WROR's standards. Joe and Andy were kind of "shock jocks" in their day but by today's standards they would be considered tame and quaint - not that I think that's a bad thing. Their routines were "obnoxious" humor but articulate. More of that level of detail is what I was looking for in this article but found this article that only tangentially mentioned its purported subject. If I find anything elsewhere I'll add it.
