(this could have gone on to the Canada board, but it's mostly directed to the folks in BTV/PLB)
I've been listening quite a bit lately to 940 Hits, the new oldies station from Montreal. The music mix is really quite good and *very* Canadian: it seems to be a blend between what one would have heard on both CKGM and CHOM back in the day: I can almost hear Ralph Lockwood or Doug Pringle outro-ing some of those tunes. Anyone in this area who listened to either station will probably hear a bunch of stuff you haven't heard in a while... like Chilliwack, or Max Webster. Yes, there is also the typical stuff you can hear on every other oldies station in the world (like Elvis and the Beatles).
No one was more disappointed than me when CINW dropped their all news format for news/talk a couple of years ago. Now that it's an oldies station it will be interesting to see what they sound like when they really launch a few weeks. These days if you can find *any* format that works on AM you are lucky.
Yours truly, waiting for the next Honeymoon Suite tune...
