I recently found that the drive time show is now four hours of
oldies!! SWEET!! I love it.

Maybe Univision Radio can flip the entire format to oldies? Or at
least extend it to weekends and overnights...that would be nice. I'd
have a soundtrack for my weekends again. :-)

What about WKBW-1520-Buffalo and WSAI-1530-Cincinatti?

Different kind of oldies.

I meant Spanish pop oldies... :)

Univision does have three stations that I can name off the top of my head
that do an oldies-format in Spanish: Los Angeles, Las Vegas and recently
Chicago's AM 56 WIND changed to oldies from talk.

I'd dig it if WADO dropped the lame talk shows and infomercials and went
music. Maybe they'd get a little uptick in the ratings...

60's and early 70's. Andinos, Chucho Avellanet, etc.

Mostly back catalog stuff from big late 70s/early 80s A/C pop artists like
Julio Iglesias, Camilo Sesto, Braulio. Also stuff from Celia Cruz,
Roberto Ledesma, Trio Los Condes, Los Panchos, Los Angeles Negros, etc.

No Xavier Cugat, Augustin Magaldi or other really classic stuff like that
- demos are probably too old for those.

I haven't had a chance to hear much of it since by the time I'm out of
work the show is over (at 7 p.m.). No AM reception in my office building
unless you are standing next to a window or an interior steel structural
support.

Las Vegas and LA are Mexican 60's oldies. Chicago is more international 70's
oldies.

NY would be caribbean-flavored oldies.

Wado is playing more of the Los Andinos / Chucho Avellanet type oldies.
60's, mostly.

Good point. I still wouldn't mind however. There was lots of great
old stuff made during the 50s, 60s and 70s. And some of it continues
to appeal to all age groups even today -- Ray Barreto, Celia Cruz,
Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz to name a few

And you'll probably be happy to know that WADO has finally killed
their Kahn POWER-Side... perhaps because its inherent distortion and
telephone-like audio doesn't sound too good with music.

Meanwhile, 1600 WWRL is still transmitting POWER-Side, although I
don't think they are putting out a 15 Hz Kahn AM Stereo pilot tone,
like WADO was.

And if WADO wants to play more music than news/talk, that's fine by
me. The skywaves are strong enough this season that almost every
night, I can get "Radio Reloj" from Cuba quite clearly on 570 kHz,
coming in right on top of local WMCA.
