103.9 Flipping To "Columbus Newsradio"
- Thread starter DToTheJ
- Start date
The Columbus Dispatch published this in it's Letters To The Editors yesterday.. I believe the editors allow letters to be posted in full here.
This letter appears to be over three months late..
What is the 'Greatest Generation' anyway?
Most cites as big as Columbus don't have a standards based radio format anymore... I believe this is a correct guess on my part.
Here is that letter:
"Radio station tuned out music, audience"

I like a number of what would be considered "standards" that they used to play on WMNI, but every time I happened to hit on the station the past several years it all sounded so lifeless and stale, and at times they were pulling songs out of their backside and calling them "standards".
I remember when WCOL was playing "The Music of Your Life" format, very similar to what WMNI had for a long time. At least they had local record spinners at 'COL at the time. I knew the format was doomed when I heard Joe Cunningham say, "Here's Michael!" (Jackson). I figured it was someone's attempt to prove no one was listening any longer, as it was certainly a departure from everything else they were playing.
I actually called the studio, the phone ringing for several minutes before I hung up.
