The cool thing about the 94 HJY one is that they still play the same exact music!

RI 104… with Red Decker in the morning! The summer of ‘85 was such a good time.

Where is your the edge sticker?

I despise them for it 🤬

I can still hear the melodic station call 'JB105' as clearly now as when I was listening to it in bed with the headphones on while I was supposed to be asleep

Still miss WBRU 😭

They are still around as an online station.
Makes sense. Who the hell owns a radio?

How does that work? If I just have a smart phone what would I do to listen?

I worked as a DJ at both WBRU and WJMF, love those stickers!

What was 99.7? The X? Or wasn't it the edge?
JasonDJ t1_iujsqg3 wrote
People listen to terrestrial radio…for music?
That just seems so weird to me.
Like, I can get sports or talk radio. Music radio nowadays is just such shit. It’s the same short rotation with 10% of the airtime for ads and 20% of the airtime for shitty aimless banter and heavily-diluted (and usually heavily-opinionated) “news”.
It’s amazing mobile streaming has totally killed the platform.
ETA: yeah obviously talk radio news is heavily opinionated but at least you know what you’re getting. Typical music station jocks aren’t who I’d trust for any semblance of “news”.

Back in the 70s I honestly switched between them and WBCN. BCN was radical back then. Living in Rhode Island I could get both.

Came here to find "Hi Neighbor" Have a Gansett?

I thought I had the “pave the bay” one too, but I can’t find it 😊
slipperysuarez t1_iujv9ji wrote
Those save the bay stickers, I think they still make them. They’re hard to come by though.
argument_sketch OP t1_iujvbaa wrote
I do, but only new ones

I’ll never get over WBRU shutting down
FawmahRhoDyelindah t1_iujw423 wrote
Same here... first radio station I actively listened to. I was about 10 or 11. Then switched to HJY a couple years later.
FawmahRhoDyelindah t1_iujwddj wrote
Beautiful collection... they look pristine. Must have been stored well.
dotknott t1_iujy6an wrote
It was both! WDGE (1995–97) and WXEX (1997–99) the edge was modern rock, X was hard rock.

I loved WBRU so much I even did a job shadowing there in seventh grade. I still have the lobster shirt!

I'd love the BRU stickers

I mean, either of them, but the blue one more than the yellow.

I recently found my 94WHY Iron Maiden Seventh Son of a Seventh Son bumper sticker! Great collection you have there!

Im sort of weird with memorabilia. Im not a pack rat, and I dont have gobs of boxes. But mags, newspapers, concert stubs… dont take up much room
Styx_Renegade t1_iuk5q6s wrote
Can I buy a few of them off you? I want to expand the Stickerolla.
argument_sketch OP t1_iuk829o wrote
I'd give 'em to you for nothing if I had extras, but I kinda wanna keep them :-)
ilovebostoncremedonu t1_iuk9rum wrote
Same. If I got the yellow one I’d probably try to exacto knife the bud light off
