[Mr_Planet]

Is there any AC station out there commited to 80's and 90's AC, Such as
Michael Mcdonald, Mariah Carey, Atlantic Starr, Goerge Michael, Phil Collins, Madonna, Richard Marx, The Jets, Gloria Estefan, Billy Ocean, StarShip, Chris De Burgh, Pointer Sisters, Tears For Fears, Huey Lewis and the news, Jon Secada, John Parr, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Peter Cetera Bryan Adams, Hall & Oats, Foreigner, Mike & the Mechanics................ The list can go on forever, But I truely miss this music that AC stations seem to forget about, Question is is there any stations playing primarily 80's and 90's AC ( does'nt have to be soft ac )

If you're ever in Buffalo, NY, you might want to check out 104.1 WHTT. This station, owned by Citadel, used to be Oldies in the traditional sense (50s-70s) but has morphed into an AC Gold focusing on the 60s-90s. Some of the post-1980 songs on their playlist now, according to Yes.com and what I've heard of it, include:

Mr. Mister - Broken Wings, Kyrie
a-ha - Take On Me
Steve Perry - Oh Sherrie
Phil Collins - Take Me Home
Amy Grant - Baby Baby
Commodores - Lady (You Bring Me Up)
Mariah Carey - Hero
Mike & The Mechanics - The Living Years
Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World
Hall & Oates - Private Eyes
Bruce Hornsby - Every Little Kiss
George Michael - Faith
Irene Cara - Flashdance
Madonna - Borderline

The station plays little to no current music, I think the newest tracks are recurrents like Sheryl Crow's "First Cut Is The Deepest" and Goo Goo Dolls' "Give A Little Bit" (coincidentally both remakes of '70s hits). If you don't like hearing '60s and '70s oldies mixed in, it may not be to your liking, as their playlist stretches back to the mid-60s. They stream at whtt.com.

Along the same lines, albeit slightly more oldies-based, is WLZT 93.3 FM in Columbus, Ohio, which positions as "Favorites of the 60s, 70s and 80s." They are more oldies/classic hits-based than WHTT, however. They also stream, at www.933litefm.com.

This assumes that what you're looking for is something brighter and with more upbeat music than a soft AC like WDUV Tampa or WTRV Grand Rapids, which borderline on being Adult Standards (I'm not decrying the Standards format, as it is my personal favorite). In any case, I hope that helps.

WNND at one time did an 80's & 90's station, but it sounded a little more on the Hot AC side. Bonneville dropped the format as soon as they swapped WLUP with 3 stations in the Phoenix market with Emmis. If they still had WLUP, they might have kept the WNND calls & the 80's & 90's. But they couldn't keep the format since it competed with sister station WTMX. The playlist was narrow in order to protect WTMX. Since that time, no station has done an 80's & 90's station, or a Hot AC. The station to replace WNND was WILV (Love FM), and was originally doing love songs, which fit the name, but decided to put that format on their sub-channel, and put disco, Motown, & classic dance.
