A WCBS-FM Clone....

SomeRadioGuy

SomeRadioGuy

..from back before the Jack FM days when they were a real oldies station.

I've had the station streaming for about 4 hours now and haven't wanted to change the "dial" once!

1150AM and 105.7FM WCRK Morristown, TN. A 5KW AM & 250W Translator.

A good, LOCAL station to boot... local news coverage, weather.. sports and GREAT music!

They are pretty much a clone of WCBS-FM... the music mix is definately alot more "oldies" then classic hits in my opinion plus they are using "105.7 CRK-FM" jingles resung to JAM's "Do It Again" package for WCBS-FM.

They're using Jim O'Brien (www.voysky.com) for their voiceover work.

The WCRK logo is even a copy of WCBS-FM!!

I thought it sounded OK, but I'm not an audio buff. I was listening through some decent Sony headpones attached to my IPhone.
 
Wow thank you for this!!!!

101.1 was as good as BIG-D 103 was in Connecticut!


Ill give it a listen :)


EDIT:

Thier 128k stream sounds good but the 24k one sounds bad!! (Understandable seeing its MP3)
 
I listen to the 128 kpbs stream on the website but it sounds like they using less processing so sometimes the sound is off-level
 
Or if you want a better oldies station than WCBS-FM, you should check out "Fox Oldies" at 98.9  in the Hudson Valley area, the music on WGNY sound a lot like WCBS-FM during the pre-Jack era (1972-2005). Go to this link and click on "Fox Oldies" and you listen to it via stream, so that it will make you feel like listening to WCBS-FM all over again.

Or, you can listen to WROW's "Magic 590" in Albany, they have the same music as well the "Do It Again" jingles that CBS-FM used it for years is now on "Magic 590".

Its sad they arent steaming in WMA where it would sound the nicest...

Here is an oldies stream @ 32k WMA and although it sounds GOOD it would sound better if it was 64k!! (Which sounds superb (for digital))

All hit oldies: mms://boomerradio-wm.streamguys.com/boomerradio-hitoldies-32

I sure do mi$$ the good sound of PURE ANALOGUE!! (Only place I can get that now is on Records,Cassettes,VHS media,etc)

Speaking of which it has been worse than ever, they seemed to turn up the bass and there is no treble whatsoever, It is completely unlistenable. Good thing I can recieve B103 (sort of) where I am!
