105.7 WROR

📖 About

105.7 WROR (WROR-FM) is a prominent commercial classic hits radio station licensed to Framingham, Massachusetts, and serving the entire Greater Boston metropolitan area and much of New England. Originally signing on the air on February 10, 1960, as WKOX-FM, the station has undergone several format and call-letter evolutions over the decades—notably operating as top-40 powerhouse WVBF ('Electronic Mama') through the 1970s and 1980s—before adopting its current classic hits identity in 1996. Today, WROR is owned and operated by the Beasley Media Group, maintaining a dominant position in the competitive Boston radio market. Programming on WROR centers heavily on iconic pop and rock hits from the 1980s, complemented by selective tracks from the 1970s, 1990s, and 2000s. The station achieved legendary status in Boston broadcasting largely due to its long-running, highly rated morning program hosted for decades by the iconic duo Loren Owens and Wally Brine (alongside subsequent team members like Lauren Beckham Falcone and Brian 'Lung Boy' Bell). The station continues to deliver engaging daily entertainment, listener-favorite interactive segments, local news updates, and custom community content tailored specifically to New England listeners. Operating with a robust 23,000-watt signal from its transmitter atop the Prudential Tower in downtown Boston, WROR reaches millions of listeners across the region both over conventional analog FM and digital HD Radio platforms. It is widely celebrated for its vibrant listener community, annual holiday programming traditions (including a heavy blend of seasonal favorites during the winter months), and its enduring connection to Boston's rich pop culture history.
