| Additional Information | WAAF 107.3 FM was a radio station broadcasting to the greater Boston area. While WAAF formally began in 1961 as an easy-listening station, it transitioned to hard, melodic rock in 1970 and retained that identify for the rest of its existence. The station prominently played artists like Guns n' Roses, Metallica, Red Hot Chilli Pepper, and Motley Crue, as well as local bands. WAAF had a rivalry with fellow Boston station WBCN due to their similar sounds and a feud surrounding which station would be first to play an embargoed Aerosmith album Nine Lives. WAFF went off the air in 2020 following a sale by the company owning the station. Since that time the 107.3 frequency has become a Christian music station. |
