Hotline: 'BCN film seeking contributors

Just posted this on my Herald Hotline blog, but it's worth a look-see here as well:

WBCN 104.1 FM rock radio may be off the air this week, but its legacy lives on beyond the current retrospectives and flashback re-broadcasts (which have been incredible, by the way).

Former newscaster and on-air announcer Bill Lichtenstein, who first took to the ‘BCN airwaves as a high school teenager in the early ‘70s, is producing the independent documentary “The American Revolution,” detailing the station’s pivotal role in Boston history – from breaking new music to covering current events.

And Lichtenstein, who is creating the doc with his Peabody award-winning LCMedia Inc. (formerly Lichtenstein Creative Media) wants your help and input.

“The film …chronicles WBCN during the years 1968 to 1975, and examines the station's role in covering and promoting the profound social, political, and cultural changes of that era,” Lichtenstein told Hotline. “We are collecting personal recollections as well as memorabilia, audio tapes, photos, etc. for use in the film at the web site WBCNthefilm.com.”

Check it out, and contribute accordingly.

Lichtenstein has also been filming the station’s final days for use in the film, and sent along this photo. “From the WBCN FM studios on the station’s final weekend, from the Class of late-‘60s/early-‘70s: “Rocket Bob” Slavin, Joe “Mississippi” Rogers, Bradley Jay, Sam Kopper, Tim Montgomery and “Little Bill” Lichtenstein, who were all on the air one last time on Sunday.”
