## From Classical to Contemporary: The Evolution of Boston's Mix 104.1
Mix 104.1, broadcasting across Boston at 104.1 MHz, boasts a rich and fascinating history that spans decades. While today it's known for its hot adult contemporary format, its roots lie in a completely different genre: classical music. Originally launched in 1958 as WBCN, the station offered a curated selection of classical masterpieces to Bostonian listeners.
However, the winds of change swept through in 1968, transforming WBCN into a groundbreaking rock station. This era became legendary, with the station playing a pivotal role in introducing and championing iconic bands like U2 to a wider audience. WBCN quickly cemented its status as a tastemaker and an integral part of Boston's vibrant music scene.
