...have been listening to a wide variety of Boston radio stations for nearly four years now--and working at one, Harvard's own WHRB 95.3 FM--and I have to say that if the only stations that your writers listen to are Jam'n 94.5 and Kiss 108, then they probably don't have a clue about the Boston radio scene. Upton is mad that Kiss 108 doesn't play enough "black" music; Mehta cries that Jam'n isn't serving as the "sounding board for black concerns to suburban white listeners" that it would be, while WILD (which...
