LATE LAST Thursday afternoon, March 3, the Merrimack Valley airwaves were crackling with righteous indignation. WUML was broadcasting Wall of Sound, and the day’s fare was classic doo-wop. In between tracks, the young female host urged her listeners to get on over to the O’Leary Library, where a protest meeting was gathering within the hour. She also played a tape of a local Cub Scout den yelling its enthusiasm for WUML, a recording it had made during a tour of the station. Given the context, it was a not-so-subtle reminder that the station is part of the community.
