WBCN Free Form Rock On WZLX HD-3
WBCN Free Form Rock (originally Free Form BCN) is a digital-only radio station broadcasting on the Internet and in the Boston radio market on HD Radio WZLX 100.7 HD-3. The station, programmed by BCN's original 1969 program director, Sam Kopper, began airing in February 2009 as Free Form 104, airing, until the demise of the original WBCN, on 104.1 HD-2. Since WBCN's change to digital-only, the station was known as "Free Form BCN" and then "WBCN Free Form Rock" by late September 2010. The station was formatted differently from WBCN's 104.1-FM and HD-1 incarnation, and continues to be different from the current 98.5 HD-2 version. Since its beginning, "WBCN Free Form Rock" has been formatted to play multiple music genres (including rock, jazz, the blues, and country). From its inception, WBCN Free Form Rock has been advertised to be a replica of the original WBCN format circa 1968 to the early 1990s, playing any song it wants, including rock and relative genres. In late 2009, the station begun to increase its DJ'd programming. While it is "robotic" most of the time, it is increasing its live weekdays, and hinting about the potential for more programming as listenership increases. As of September 2012: Mondays and Tuesdays - Destiny Curtis 10a-1p, Sam Kopper 1p-3p; Wednesdays Carolyn Fox 9a-Noon, Sam Kopper Noon to 3; Thursday Sam Kopper 11a-2p; and Fridays Carolyn Fox 9a-1p, Sam Kopper 1p-5p.
