It's about time someone made radio oldies fun again. Hopefully there will be
a satellite radio station that makes oldies fun and there will be more
stations like this. In fact, come to think of it, I have listened to 1530
at night here in GA.

I wonder if they use PAMS Series 18 jingles? I just love those jingles and
those old deeejays. I think we are too hard on Clear Channel. There is a
horrible local yokel station in my GA town that downloads off satellite (and
pulled a Yankee out of the ad sales pool to get a big city look) But there
is a Clear Channel station that has better personalities.

oldies 50 KW rock n roll flamethrower!
Live DJ's, no music past 1968 or so, a tolerable commercial load, all in

very listenable. Clear Channel owned, but that hasn't seemed to screw it

up
yet. Hope you can hear it where you live, pattern must turn northward at
night as Louisville reception goes to hell at sundown.

Before moving to California, I was amazed at the amount of truly local stuff
on WZOO-FM Ashtabula, Ohio and WKDD-FM Akron, Ohio - two small-market stations
bought by Clear Channel a couple years ago. Very focused on local issues.
WKDD was, and continues to be, one of my all-time favorite stations. Clear
Channel did a good job of not changing that.

Here in the High Desert, KZXY-FM Apple Valley is also a small-market station
owned by Clear Channel. I think they do OK too. Their sister AM talk station
had round-the-clock live coverage of the wildfires in this area... lots and
lots of good information.

I'm not saying that there aren't stations they don't completely screw up,
but there are some good ones out there.

What amazes me is that Infinity owns a station out here... I don't recall
which one.

Clear Channel and Infinity are both run basically "by the numbers."
That is to say, local managers can do pretty much what they want as
long as they meet their cash flow budgets. Conversely, they must cut
anything and everything if they don't, regardless of the impact on
operations. This style of management means the quality of the local
GM is really crucial. And as anyone who's been around the business a
while knows, the quality of general managers is wildly variable.

which one.


Infinity and Clear Channel both scooped up lots of marginal stations
by buying entire groups to get the better ones. Where they differ is
that Infinity really does not want to be in smaller markets, whereas
CCU seems to want to own everything it possibly can, everywhere.
However, even CCU has been sloughing off a few lately. The 1220 AM in
Canyon Country, CA was sold back to its former owner for less than a
third of what CCU paid for it. He was making money operating it --
they never did.

Neither WSAI or WCPO/WUBE used Series #18, so anthything is possible.
Currenbtly they are using resings fo the Pacific And Southern TM
package first used when on 1360.

They have some other TM items still to used on air.

To hear resings of classic PAMS in the internet, try www.kmin980.com
and click on Listen Now.

They are live in the am and pm dirve and have otehr live segments
through out the week. Sadely, like most braodcasters today, they rely
on computer automation during other times. Owner is a good friend and
really cares about locally owned radio.

Actually, WSAI repurchased TM's Southern & Pacific jingles. The
package was originally a custom for WCFL/WWDJ/WQXI/WSAI. The original
multitracks were pulled (I know... I did it) and new vocal
arrangements were scored utilizing the new frequency of 1530. The
cuts were sung at TM Century, Inc.

In addition to the TM cuts, they are using the Drake-Chanault stager
ID, 20/20 news jingle and thematic breaks.
