Boston Radio: Loren Owens EXITS Beasley's WROR

Loren Owens and partner Wally Brine - 2013

It's the end of an era as longtime Boston morning host Loren Owens abruptly decided it's time to exit Classic Hits WROR 105.7 FM.

His departure apparently is over an inability to reach a new contract agreement with Beasley Media Group.


Owens final show at WROR apparently is today.

Going back to 1981, Boston listeners tuned-in mornings to hear Owens and his foerm partney Wally Brine. Brine came to 105.7 (then WVBF) from his job in Portland, Maine, to host the station’s afternoon show. Owens a seasoned radio veteran from Denver, Colo., came to host the morning show.

The two said the chemistry was instantaneous.

Brine retired in 2016, the same year Beasley acquired WROR from Greater Media.
