Should have asked why they fired the guy that had the only decent show on the channel in the last 20 years.

Love this! I grew up on the same street as Celeste and her family when I was a kid. Listened to BLM so much back then

They’ve been playing the same five song rotation that long? Damn.
The morning show is boring dribble

They've let go of 95% of the people I knew working at BLM/CYY over 10 years.
They just got smaller and smaller to a point where it's people who took a huge pay cut, cut of hours, or just syndicated programming.
Radio sucks.

Took me a while to learn that TOS stands for Top of Sugarloaf because that's where their tower is.

The last time I listened to the morning show they had Mark Persky in the booth with them

I was just asking for a friend. No self respectin’ Maine person would need that information. Amirite?

WBCN in Boston changed formats and WAAF turned into some bible thumping station.
Fuller/Jeffries, just two local dudes, sold WBLM and others in its group for $63 million in 1999. Perfect timing.

Persky was an a-hole, glad to see him gone.

TOS has BLM's old afternoon guy, the "if the conniption fits..." dude. Guru out!

Why do you say that? Do you know anything about the firing or any Persky gossip?

Yes, but not posting here.
Of note, he was on 107.5 Frank for about a week, if that helps.

I miss Tommy C, I miss the Guru, I miss Persky, I miss the Cosmic Muffin. BLM is a shadow of its former glory but it is still here and has some legitimacy left. The slashing of personalities had made me often listen elsewhere, but i still pop in. I have been lucky to have been born and raised with a monster AOL station and then, in moving to Maine, blessed with another. These are rare. They still are allowed by their overlords to play Beatles and the enitre catalog "A to Z"'s and might play an occasional deep cut off of vinyl. Tommy C at least has his show on CLZ and that is the best thing on the radio. I'll enjoy what we have while we have it.

Yeah he was only good dj. Station stinks. He’s on CLZ now. why they fired him?

I get my dose of 'BLM every morning at 7:20 on Maine Public Radio. Still great to hear Altitude Lou. I was more of a 'TOS/'FNX type, myself, but the Blimp was the soundtrack to pretty much every hour long bus ride from Farmington to Weld, and vice-versa, from 1982-1986.

If you are not listening to Tommy C on WCLZ, you are missing some good stuff. A lot of things you haven’t heard in years and things you’ve never heard.

I remember the Mark and Mark Remarkable Morning Show, before the Captain. Mark Persky and Mark Mancell. I remember Jose Diaz.
I remember when they fired Mark Persky, and I started listening to WTOS because it pissed me off so much.

I thought he had retired on his own. There's not much online about him since he left. Looks like he was on a station called WYAR but that site hasn't been updated.
Reddit said he had legal troubles but I think the poster confused Mark Parenteau from WBCN with Mark Persky...

or Dan Rather?

Had Persky as a sub teacher back in high school.
The dude does not know how to shut up.
