Only station that is close to oldies is on 91.7 KXT .

I'd argue that KEOM fits the bill far better than KXT. Or that oldies show that runs or ran on 1700.

Isn’t 1700 a Hispanic station?

It's some flavor of Spanglish programming normally but they have been running an oldies show Sunday nights in full English.

Seconded, KXT plays a lot of new stuff. KNON has a good oldies show on Saturday mornings, too. KEOM is pure oldies, and has a wider playlist than KLUV and is non commercial. I sound like a broken record, but our non commercial music stations are all excellent.

KEOM is a good format for music and radio junkies (ie, the sort of people who post here) -- while they cover roughly the same era as KLUV, they go much deeper on playing what are now relatively obscure pop songs from the period that they cover. I listen to it a fair amount, but I also understand why it isn't going to pick up anything more than a niche audience.

Please bring back the oldies radio format on KLUV!!!

Which version of oldies? When they originally switched to oldies in the mid-eighties, they were heavy on fifties and pre-British Invasion sixties music. With time, their main focus moved to the sixties British Invasion era music, and with the passage of a little more time they started adding some seventies music. Through all of that, they were considered an oldies station. It's when they really started adding eighties music that the format designation was switched from oldies to classic hits, but it's not like there was a big change in the music they played when they started calling it classic hits.

For that matter, even during the period it has been called classic hits, the music that they've played has changed rather substantially. I'd say that initially the "classic hits" mix was very seventies-centric, with some eighties and maybe even a little bit of sixties mixed in. With time, the sixties have vanished completely and the seventies music has been reduced dramatically to make it into an eighties-based format with some eighties mixed in.

Personally, I liked their music the best towards the end of their era as oldies and the beginning of the classic hits era. I'm guessing that each of us will have different preferences in that regard, just depending on when we each grew up.

So, again, which version of oldies? And how would they turn a profit if the average audience is over 70 (which would be the case if they went back to what they played when they first switched to oldies in the eighties)?

I just wish I could pick it up. That's not happening here in Ft.Worth.

I miss the 70's weekends they used to do.

Sounds like a description of “K-Oldie 57” KLDD 570, which was on 1987-89. Was locked into the 1955-63 music era.

Predecessor KRQX was one of my all-time favorite stations.
