WHen WHTT was born, they've used some cuts from the same package and later bought cuts from JAM's "Hitradio 2" and "The Flame Thrower" as well as TM's "Airpower".

The retrosepctive on the station's history was good, however one might wonder with heritage calls,(back when those still mattered), why they went all out with new calls. I can understand the desire to reimage for the CHR format, but it seems like that was pretty much done before the call change. Also, if EEI had several different formats, why change the calls when they worked before? He sounded 20 years ahead of his time, but that GM sure didn't sound to concerned with the call change, more like he didn't give a rat's behind... Perhaps it was karma let lead to HTT's demise only a short 3 years after launch. Shame, it was a great CHR format for a time when CHR ROCKED.

Can anyone tell us who created these jingles of WEEI-FM on the last day at 5PM March 9, 1983? I’m not sure, but I would sure like to get a recording of that jingle and others in that package.
