The Curious Case of WMEX Boston: From Doo-Wop to Disappearing Act (and Back Again!)
Ah, WMEX Boston. A name that conjures up memories of bobby socks, poodle skirts, and the dulcet tones of silky smooth radio DJs. But for a while there, WMEX went the way of eight-track tapes and payphones – seemingly vanishing into thin air. Fear not, fellow nostalgia buffs, because WMEX is back, baby, and ready to rock your oldies station dial once again!

Where'd You Go, WMEX? A Brief Disappearance
The story of WMEX is a bit of a rollercoaster. Back in the day (we're talking the golden age of radio, folks!), WMEX was a powerhouse, pumping out the hottest tunes and captivating audiences with local personalities. But like all good things, the format eventually shifted, and by the late 70s, WMEX found itself off the air.
Did Elvis take it with him on his mysterious trip to Bermuda? (Probably not, but it makes a good story.)
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
The Grand Return: WMEX Rides Again!
Fast forward to 2017, and a radio angel by the name of Ed Perry swoops in. A man with a serious case of radio nostalgia, Perry saw the potential in WMEX and decided to bring it back from the dead.
Cue the triumphant music! (We're talking triumphant fanfares, not Careless Whisper.)
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
With a fresh coat of radio paint and a renewed dedication to classic hits, WMEX relaunched in 2018. Now you can once again tune in to 1510 AM or 101.1 FM and get your fix of 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s goodness.
It's a radio miracle! (Or at least a testament to the power of perseverance.)
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.
So, What Can You Expect from the New WMEX?
Get ready for a trip down memory lane! WMEX is all about serving up the greatest hits from the golden age of music. Think Elvis, The Beatles, The Supremes, and all the other legends who made those decades unforgettable. Plus, they throw in some local flavor with news and sports coverage for the south Boston area.
