Thanks for posting. I lived just over the state line, about 45 miles from downtown beantown in the late 60s - mid 70s, 'BCN was on the air everywhere. Danny Schecter (sp?) really changed news presentation, he was amazing.

It was an amazing time with an amazing radio station that played a major role in history.

I'll be watching this one for sure.
