I'm a sucker for those "oldies" stations. When I got my first jobs in the late 80's / early 90's, the only radio worth listening to was oldies stations, and I'd listen to those on the way to and from work.

Oldest songs on the radio here are late 1970s ... now they call them "Classic Hits" so as not to scare the younger demos

Absolutely. When I started listening to WCBS-FM in the early 70s, they played 50s through the current day. By the 80s, they started by dropping doo-wop songs and early 50s obscurities. Madonna is oldies now.

This "Take It Easy" song reminds me of my parents, who lived this kind of music, and would listen to this kind of thing on KZEL, in my region. "Classic Rock" Format, copying the traditional Ohio "Classic Rock" style.

WBGO Newark's jazz station still has the Rhythm Revue with Felix Hernandez on the weekends. He'll play some gems from the 50s through the 70s.

WCBS-FM was unusual back then with the "Future Gold" mixed in with the oldies.

My parents liked the rock songs that had a country influence or classical strings. Both of them hated Rod Stewart. Of course, us kids loved Rod.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:10pm
Austin Rich:

I think about this often, because you hear 80's music on almost any station, which is now 40 - 50 years old. When I was a kid, You never heard music from the 30's on the radio, or very much that wasn't VERY recent, by comparison.

Ha! I think my mom saw Rod Stewart once? She was pretty equal opportunity. She loved hair metal, too, and took me to see Skid Row / Bon Jovi. By comparison, my mom had a pretty big ear.

Around 2007 or so I came across a local AM station in NJ that featured doo-wop and early 50s rock. It was so cool to tune in, but they were bought out.

At the end of 1997 / early 1998, I was nosing around KWVA in Eugene, as a friend of mine was DJing there, and discovered that you didn't need a radio license, and you didn't need to be a student at the college. So I started the long negotiation process that led to me being on at 4 AM on a Tuesday morning, my first radio gig.

I can't listen to "country oldies" more than your average Joe. At one point, I looked up every single radio station in the USA that was technically "freeform" and sent them CDs, also listened to some of them. It's kinda nice to listen to country oldies streaming from some place in the middle of nowhere, North Dakota or whereever.

Most of my viewing in the 90s was still on good old VHF and UHF, so yes Simpsons and PBS (we had three different PBS stations I could get in or near CHicago)

The last station that I worked at before the Pandemic - KMUZ here in the Mid-Valley - had a station manager who made his bones in Alaska, in the late 70's, and was there until around 2010. He was at a lot of stations, and had lots of stories of weird stations in deep Alaska.

He did, for the most part. But he didn't live very extravagantly, and made himself pretty valuable by being the only guy in the area who could fix most things.
