VCCA Home Forums GENERAL DISCUSSION General Discussions Lost another Oldies Radio Station....

Earlier in 2004 we lost our local 1430 WRTH from oldies to American Favorites (ya right). Found out today WSAI 1530 out of Cincinatti is completely off the air. What the HELL is wrong with these people? St. Louis has KLOU 103.3, but they play more late 60s... I miss the 1st generation Rock and Roll....

Good Night Sweethart... Good Night..... :confused:

Here in New Jersey, we have a GREAT new station for about a year now, WMTR 1170 and 1250AM, which plays 50's and early 60's exclusively. They even have a Doo Wop program on at 7-10 Friday nights.
WCBS FM, a New York station USED TO play this music, but have moved to a 60's, 70's, 80's format(mostly 70's). It's OK, but not what it used to be. I guess they are going for a broader audience.
Unfortunately, WMTR has a limited signal, but it is my station of choice.
For those of you in northern NJ, please support them, or they will go away too. :(

Well folks....there is always Satellite Radio!!!
It costs about $10 a month to subscribe (and before you say why the Hell would I pay for radio if I can get it at no cost????) the Satellite Radio is 100% commercial free. Its wonderful. Follows you coast to coast in your car and if your head is stuck on a specific type of music (or talk radio) there are 120+ choices to listen to!

XM radio is great, you don't have to look for another radio station every 80-100 miles. I can drive from here to New Mexico without changeing stations, It has weather and driving conditions for most metropolitan areas plus the audio portion of CNN, Fox News,BBC and others, It costs $9.99 a month for the first one and $6.99 a month for the 2nd one. My wife's 2003 Cavalier and my 2004 Silverado both have the factory installed systems. But you can add it to anything that has a 12 volt system:
