Actually, it was Rosalyn Tureck if memory serves me right.

It was particularly galling to see WNCN switch to rock when the 
midnight to 6am DJ, a guy named Watson, used to play the 
Well-Tempered Clavier nonstop. After it was done, he'd come on the 
air and say, "Now wasn't that beautiful?" and play it again in clear 
defiance of commercial broadcasting standards. I used to listen to 
Watson when I was a grad student in 1965 to 1967. He helped me make 
it through the night.
