iHeart 50s

I went to the N.C. mountains this week as I usually do this time of year. While I no longer see any of what is going on in the auditorium, the two pastors of my church and another member were there as official delegates.

Where I eat breakfast, there is normally some terrible mess playing, and a voice says "iHeart 80s" or whatever it happens to be. Thursday, I went in and there was this great music playing that I could actually enjoy listening to.

I heard a voice say. "iHeart 50s".

It didn't last. The next day I went in and there was this noise. People in the Greenville SC area might have described this as being the old format of 93.3 the Planet. Since it was iHeart, maybe it was like the rock format that iHeart rock stations use. I couldn't quite make out with the voice said, but the second part of it was "2K". I don't think it was CHR or Hot AC because, like I said, all the songs were rock, and that wouldn't be the case with CHR or AC.

But I am so pleased that iHeart has some good music. It has been stated here that they also have a standards format, which is more of an oldies format, really.
 
Sirius/XM streaming has several oldies (50's - 70's) channels that you might want to check out, if you get that. My current listening is to 'Happy Oldies' in the car

I've never been willing to pay for Sirius/XM but I live in an area that has a 50s and early 60s based oldies station.
 
If you are on a desktop here is a good way to sort through all of the iHeart original stations:


At the top keep the City, State as Digital, National and then to the right of that you can select your genre(s).

To be fair, that "terrible mess" is my favorite genre. But hey, iHeart has stations for all of us! Which is, you know, the point.
