Well in its place is Mike93.7 FM. Did star get bought out or move frequency? |

| Got an email from them, it seems that they were bought out!
Though I dont listen to Star (or any music for that fact) one of the family members used my email, so more free spam!
quote: Dear 93.7 Listener:
Because you are one of Star's most valued listeners, we want you to hear it from us first. As of 2pm today, Star 93.7 becomes 93.7 Mike FM. Our slogan? WE PLAY EVERYTHING.
We know you probably have very mixed emotions right now; you loved Star, and so did we. All we're asking is that you give Mike a chance, because we think you'll really love what you hear.
When we say "We play everything," we mean it. Mike will play 2-3 Star songs per hour, plus tons of hits that you loved growing up in Boston but haven't heard in a while. In fact, our music library is three to five times bigger than any other radio station's in Boston. That's a lot of great songs. And we'll play them randomly, so you'll feel like you just hit Shuffle on an iPod. You won't even have to buy one.
You'll hear everything from Donna Summer to Def Leppard, Abba to Aerosmith, Journey to Janet, Beatles to Bananarama.
Mike's tone w ill be sarcastic, fun, and irreverent. That's the attitude you take on when you don't have to play by any particular set of rules. Mike is all about the music, with very few interruptions (except for a few commercials. after all, Mike does have to eat).
Your Star Insider Rewards points automatically became Mike's Club Points. We're going to be adding tons of great prizes, so make sure to keep checking in with us.
We know you probably have a lot to say, and we want to hear it. So email us here or call us at 617-266-7827 with your comments, questions, anything you want us to know.
On behalf of Star 93.7, thank you for all of your support these past 6 years. On behalf of 93.7 Mike FM, check us out. We think you'll like Mike.
Best,
Your Friends at 93.7
P.S. The Star Style Ball is still on next Thursday, April 21 st at the Roxy. We hope to see you there!

1 edit | reply to Need BB Oh my god.... Does this mean they are no longer a Clear Channel/Corporate/Infinity/CRAP station?
If their playlists aren't regulated or dictated by the corporate offices (as with all the ClearChannel CRAP on the radio now) I will be more than happy to make this the ONLY channel that I listen to in Boston.  |

  Mike News
@prserv.net | reply to Need BB It's not a buyout. The same large company, Entercom that owned Star owns Mike. It is a format change and they are getting rid of local talent, dj's. Not the best news I have heard. |

| It sucks... the scope of music they're playing is WAY too broad to hold on to my interests for the drive to work... And the fact that they got rid of their DJs, a big part of my enjoyment, really sucks... I'm happy with "whatever weekend" on Mix, and that's probably where I'll stay... |

| reply to CJPC Your station blows, you took something that was unique and differnent form bostons airways and made it just like every outher lame sation. I grew up listening to disco and freestyle, as well as alternitive, at least there still around. Hey, turn your dial to 92.9 or 92.5, and 105.7 see anything firmilar. Thank god for XM Raido, and Sirius. What age group are you tring to apese? I'am 34 and even my 15 year old sister was into the classics to her it was brand new, and my mother who is 57 loved hearing them. Big, big, big, mistake, HUGE!

Boston loves the Madame and Ralphie & Fast Freddie!!! Why the hell would you dump them? Mike sucks! Booooooo Mike! I'm boycotting Mike and listening to my ipod in the car! What's next? Are they gonna take over Kiss and Dump Matty in the Morning? Why don't they just re-name Boston "Mike City"
MIKE...YOU SUCK! |

| reply to Need BB This is ridiculous!! Why did they get rid of the djs??? So you play everything Mike how does that make you a great station. Music is music but the djs make up the station's personality. Thanks for taking away the folks who got me through my morning commute:( Oh well back to KISS 108! |

| reply to Need BB ok'a I'm probably one of the few star listeners that is happy to hear about this. I do like star music but it was not and still wont be the only station I listen to. WHEB is my morning show. I am very much enjoying the huge verity that mike is giving me. I'm finding I'm listening more then before. Keep it up MIKE I'm not taking you off my auto dial. Just two words DURAN DURAN.:):) |

@expertek.com | I hate the change! If I wanted to listen to music in the morning, I'd play tapes in my car!! I want to hear great banter and calls from listeners. I loved Ralphie and Karen and their morning show, and I hope they realize what a mistake they made. |

| reply to Need BB Join the boycott of MIKE 93.7 and its advertisers. Send all advertisers an email, send "Mike" an email. telling them so. the dollar rules all.
Your company will be boycotted for its support and advertising on the station "Mike" 93.7. The company that killed STAR 93.7. The Star listeners are forming a grass roots boycott of "Mike" advertisers. Your company will be part of the boycott. |

  MPScan Premium join:2001-08-24 Boston, MA | HA. Now that made me laugh.
It's 2005, not 1950. Boycotts don't work anymore.
Companies are too big these days... it just doesn't work anymore. |
