Remember our most popular DJs?  Were you a WBZ or WMEX person (or both)?

1960: Bruce Bradley joins WBZ, when the station is still playing middle of the road pop music. Gradually, as the music becomes more top-40, “Juicie Brucie” Bradley’s night-time show becomes extremely popular.

1964: The WBZ airstaff is Carl deSuze in the morning, followed at 9:30 by Dave Maynard, then Jay Dunn at 12:30, Jefferson Kaye at 3:30, and after a news and information block at 6pm, Contact, and 8:05 Bruce Bradley. Overnight is Dick Summer. During the folk music craze, Jefferson Kaye does a popular Sunday night show called “Hootenanny.”

Summer 1966: Bruce Bradley is broadcasting live in the Sundeck Studio from Paragon Park, Nantasket Beach.

Bruce Bradley died in June 2013, Dave Maynard in 2012, Jefferson Kaye in 2012, Jay Dunn in 2011, Ron Landry in 2002, Carl DeSuze in 1998.  Dick Summer aircheck (and still alive!).
