In Boston, there are very few pure college radio stations. WMBR, one of the finest stations on the…read moreplanet, is in a class above the typical ramshackle student-run enterprise. WERS and WUMB are heavily formatted, WZBC has taken the cutting-edge niche, and WBUR has sold the students out for the spotlight of NPR. Which leaves the best good ol' fashioned small-time college station in the area, a helter-skelter mess of students and locals with often no prior experience playing just about whatever comes to mind at the moment, or screwing around on the air just because someone is letting them. It is radio at its finest -- unscripted, flawed, and spontaneous, with as much beauty in the bad moments as good. WMFO preaches the freeform philosophy, which I sometimes think means "we don't have the time or interest to coordinate any of this," making fertile ground for unpredictability. I am a WMBR devotee first and foremost, and WZBC has button #2 on my dial. But when the undeniable earnestness of either isn't doing it for me, I tune to 91.5 and the great majority of the time, I get what WMFO is best at -- fun. Straight-up, amateur, unpretentious fun, possibly the most sincere place in local radio.

This is a good-enough station in the old-fashioned mould of College Radio, IE Unpretentious, but…read moresounding very amateurish at times because of that. It's a fine line to walk, wanting to encourage more students and other first-time-presenters on air, but not showing them their obvious mistakes so that they learn. Consequently, some of the programming at times on WZBC and WMFO is downright embarrassing, teaches no-one anything and is pretty much un-listenable. The comments from Bulba S from 29008 accept that - I just wonder what they have done to try and improve it in those four years since it hasn't worked, for my taste. BUT...I totally applaud the idea to get more people, new to radio, involved - You can't just then abdicate the responsibility of showing them how to do stuff!!

It was already tuned in on the rental car playing some Tom Petty when I drove out from Logan and the good tunes continued with Bowie, Springsteen, Mellencamp and Gabriel. And lots more. Commercials?
