Aww, That was the Dr. Demento channel, once upon a time.

I used to listed to BCN back in the 80's.
But, Dr. Demento was on COZ, not BCN...

"Been a long time since Nocturnal Emisions was followed up by Boston Emissions and then either Dr. Dimento or the King Biscuit Flower Hour, or both. Robin Lane & the Chartbusters, the Cars, Duke & the Drivers, Schemers, Private Lightning, Down Avenue...well per Charles; if the creek don't rise, and there ain't no meltdown, and the good Lord is willing....oh, we can't do it again next week - we'll see you on the Web; doesn't sound right. Thanks BCN (the real BCN) for everything. When you were good, you were very good! "

Perhaps jpk62 has different memories then I do.
But, my apartment in 1982-1983 had WBCN (104.5) on almost all the time. The time we didn't was Sunday nights when we had to change to WCOZ (93.5) for Dr. Demento.
WCOZ did change from "kick ass rock and roll" to "popular hits" in the mid-late 80's. Perhaps Dr D moved to BCN then. But, that was after the other things they mention (Nocturnal Emisions, King Biscuit Flower Hour) had ended.

Is there anything like Dr. Demento out there anymore? Anywhere?
