"I shape young radio minds"

In the wake of George Knight's jumping to WERS, see George Knight Jumps Ship from WUMB to WERS, July 30, 2013,  UMass Boston-licensed WUMB has hired (probably more correct, contracted with) Dominick Indindoli to be its weeknight "on air personality."

I say "probably more correct, contracted" because he does (yet) not merit a profile on WUMB's "announcres" page which as of August 15.2013 lists state payrolled talent

Marilyn Rea Beyer
Gail Gilmore
Brendan Hogan
Jay Moberg
Albert O
Dave Palmater
Marcia Palmater
Perry Persoff
Sandy Sheehan
Dana Westover

So who is this new script-reading "on air personality" with the Connecticut School of Broadcasting / commercial AAA radio persona?

Like many, Dominick has a Linked-in account. From his profile:

  Perhaps a new "on air personality" would bring some fres programming ideas and artists not usually heard on WUMB? No way! Tonight's programming is the same old rehashed pablum, you know the stuff its few listeners have been force fed for the past 5 years. Tonight's playlist since when I tuned in in East Boston over the drive home:

  10:00 pm	Indigo Girls
  	Hammer and a Nail

  9:56 pm	Paul Simon
  	So Beautiful or So What

  9:53 pm	Tin Bird Choir
  	Takes Me Forever

  9:49 pm	Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell
  	Hanging Up My Heart (from Old Yellow Moon)

  9:46 pm	The Kinks
  	Sunny Afternoon (from Face to Face)

  9:41 pm	Greg Brown
  	Downtown (from 44 & 66)

  9:36 pm	KT Tunstall
  	Feel It All

  9:33 pm	Ben Harper
  	Fool for a Lonesome Train (from Lifeline)

  9:29 pm	The Decemberists
  	Down by the Water (from The King is Dead)

  9:25 pm	Dawes
  	From A Window Seat (from Stories Don't End)

  9:20 pm	J.J. Cale

  	Gone Gone Gone(Done Moved On)

  9:10 pm	Willy Mason
  	Talk Me Down (from Carry On)

  As far as WUMB's decision to hire or contract Dominick, were you expecting from a state university, a UMass student be given the nighttime free-form producer/host role? Ha! As "Boston's NPR music station, WUMB operates as a student-free zone and has an AAA image and reputation to preserve.  Which begs the question, since most of the WUMB programming is voicetracked, why not just have one "on-air personality" to do voice overs, then simply replay them over and over? Few would notice because few are listening. That would cut costs and cause no change in the quality of its broadcast sound, which, as we remember is once again dead last in the Boston Arbiton "people meter" ratings.
