Anyone else remember this? Radio One flipped WCAV to a satellite-delivered country format while it made technical improvements to the station. On May 30, 1999, WCAV moved from its longtime home on one of the WBET towers to a new 2.7-kW/492-ft facility in Abington, offering a somewhat stronger signal to the north over Boston and its suburbs. In October, WCAV changed calls to WBOT, and after several months of dead air and a weeklong loop of Tone Locs “Wild Thing”, WBOT relaunched on December 6 as urban “Wild 9-7-7”, becoming the first commercial FM station to dedicate itself to serving Bostons black community. bostonradio.org/stations/19633
