[Colorado Media Newsroom]

From Radio Insight:

John Garabedian’s RCRQ Inc. closed on its $575,010 purchase of 740 WJIB/101.3 W267CE Cambridge/Boston and relaunched the station.
With a refreshed logo and minor positioning shift from “The Memories Stations” to “The Memories Channel”, WJIB continues to feature its broad Soft Oldies format as it did under previous owner Bob Bittner. Garabedian is voicing promos for the station introducing new features including a request and dedication phone line. He also announced that the station will remain commercial-free, but he will not start a new fund-raiser for WJIB until 2025. He has also begun streaming the station online at WJIB.com.
A similarly programmed “Bob’s Memory Station” programmed by engineer Bob Perry continues on the three Maine AMs held by former owner Bob Bittner’s estate and Gary Hanna’s 102.3 WGTX-HD3 Truro MA.
