Yes. I worked for WGBH, Boston. I haven't heard them in a fully 
quieted location in a long time. It would be hard to believe anyone 
today would be as fanatical about audio as Bill Busiek, CE at WGBH, 
at the time. It was a magnificent sounding station. WGBH and WBUR 
helped sell more FM receivers than any other stations in the market, 
even to people who hated Classical music. Those were the days when 
High End audio included radio. If you walked into the original 
Tweeter store in the People's Republic of Cambridge, you'd not only 
meet Henry Kloss, Roy Aliison and the rest of the pioneers, you'd 
hear WGBH. They were the only stations that could take a Marantz 10-B 
tuner for a real ride.
