I'm not sure about the inclusion of the third 'Other use' of the title 'Boss Radio' added at the bottom of the page. I only know about these guys because they asked me to create some jingles for them, I don't know how genuine they were, I only know I didn't get paid. Should it be removed?
The other uses section is not referenced to or by anything. It is meaningless trivia and does not belong in this article. For instance: when did this other station operate and how wide was its audience and for how long? Are there any major documented references to it? Same goes for the mention of the band and as for the remour, it does not belong because it is only a rumour that is totally unsupported by fact.
[edit] Other uses
'Boss Radio' is also the name of a former British land-based pirate radio station, a British jazz/rock group, and the name of a group of people who it is rumoured intended to take over Radio City's transmitters on the day of the UK Marine Offences Act (Apparently their money ran out).
[edit] Boss Radio in California
The article implies that "Boss Radio" originated at KHJ. But according to http://www.ct30.com/kgb/history.html , Drake and Chenault had previously developed this format, even using the "Boss Radio" marketing theme, at the stations they programmed in San Diego, Fresno, and Stockton, before bringing it to KHJ. I don't know who's right, and certainly the format was brought to its final form at KHJ, but certainly they'd used the format and the name earlier. Jeh 19:46, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
