Jprrf-R According to Janis Reed. music consultant for Boston's fore- most rock n' roll magazine The Beat. WDJM is the station to tune to in Massachusetts. In a recent article entitled The Best of l984 . Reed states. In true spirit ofcollege radio. WDJM in Framingham does not behave in the 'clique-ish manner of certain other we rule college and major radio people. Hope- fully. its innovative programming and spirit will not end up ignored. The WDJM staff was pleased by the article. which appeared in the January issue of The Beat. written by such a respected critic. WDJM's General Manager Robb Timm explains. It wasn't as if we were rated 'the Best College Station' but we were rated The best Radio Station - period. Our reputation is spotless and highly regarded. ln fact. I-iramingham's new video channel V66 called us looking for interns because 'DJM people have proven themselves to be top notch in the broadcast- ing field. Ufcourse. we are not for everybody -just for people tired of listening to the same ten records. How has such a transformation come about? Many factors have played a part in WD.lM's radio prominence. The first move was the boost in power from ten to one-hundred watts a year ago. One DJ noted. Until recently we were lucky to get three phone calls a show. but now it has become nearly impossible to play so many requests during a two-hour show. ,fi il' WDJM Disc Jockeys should be proud ofthe new atten With change comes growth ind WDJM is cert unly doing th it' 93' tion and popularity that the station has received this year.
