Louisville 840 WHAS, when they played RnR

Music licensing fees are based on income and usage of music on your station. Consolidation did not make it more expensive to play music or more costly for an AM station to play music. I was a GM at an AM station almost 26 years, 1993-2019

Thanks for the clarification.

That's the official song of 102.3. I feel like no matter what format 102.3 has, other than their late 90s alternative rock WLRS days, that song is inescapable there.

True. I played it as a current when we were known as Rock102.

Listened to Joe Donvan a lot living in Western NY in the 1990's. Also, the weekend evening music blocks. I recall hearing Terry Meiner's show during the winters with early sunsets and his jetson's theme intro to his show. Would wake up to Wayne Perky pre sunrise some mornings. Jack Fox did some weekend evening's and he was a fantastic DJ.

The station sounded fantastic overall to me - was really well put together and I listened a lot especially after WOWO bit the dust leaving WHAS the last big 50KW doing this type of format. Also recall Doug McKelvin, Joe Elliot and Milton Metz among others.

Yes, they sounded great in AM Stereo as well even via skywave. They were the first AM I ever heard in stereo. Sitting in my friend's 1980's Trans Am with a factory AM stereo tuner, I flipped to WHAS and Let It Ride by BTO came blasting out of the speakers. After that I made getting an AM Stereo a receiver high priority.
