Any stations still running this format?

I know 1430 AM in St. Louis runs and streams it, anyone else?

I thought 640 WVLC did too but that's the villages only in Florida
 
KZPO 103.3 Kings Radio, Lindsay CA (Visalia/Fresno) It's more of a Nostalgia Format than the typical Oldies station, Dean; Frank; Nat; Doris; John Denver;Barry Manilow; some Elvis and so forth, 40s to early 70s easy listening.
 
They don't stream, but Cruisin' Oldies 1050 WJCM Sebring FL has a tight, mostly pre-Beatles, playlist. Their policy can be found at www.cohanradiogroup.com

They really go back, and ask the listener to "remember when...." (and explain fads of the day). They also play bits of old OLD TV themes!

EDIT: My opinion only, but I feel that The Villages' WVLG has really lost their way musically. Sad to see/hear. (But I've already ranted about them here before.)

I would agree, you'd think they'd stick to their roots...it's AM for goodness sake, it's not going to be an "awesome 80s hit music" station ever
 
KRWZ 950 AM "Crusin' Oldies... Denver -- You can listen on line under MEDIA U or TuneIn Radio. Always playing oldies!
 
East Coast - I can't think of any stations terrestrial-wise running the format - classic hits (60's, 70's, 80's) rules in this part of the country....and correct me if I'm wrong..... :D

Same on the West Coast Andrea, and even the classic hits stations are only playing late 60s to the 90s, in my market Fresno we lost our last Classic hits station Oldies 97.5 to an Hot AC format playing the mix of Katy Perry and Maroon 5, playing the same as 4 other Fresno stations, hard the find a station playing anything before 1965.

BTW Andrea you should check in at the FWG, it's been awhile.

Van Morrison to Katy Perry? That's what I would analyze that switchover - in 2005, at least in NYC, the switchover was more like Dion to the Beastie Boys..... :D

In Fresno, we do have KMGV mega Oldies 97.5 playing R&B from the 50s to the 80s, such as Chicago, Tierra, EW&F, Tower Of Power, The Platters, War, Prince, Ton Loc, and etc. and KOKO 94.3 Killer Oldie that is owned by Art Laboe, that is a combination of R&B Oldies and Latin Hip-Hop.

"Together" from late 1980 is such a good song!! A Classic!
It hit #1 in Los Angeles late that year either on KHJ or KRTH
Nationally #18 in early '81.

Yes, great song!!!


Today I just listened to a classic AT40 Casey Kasem from Jan 31 1981 and "Together" was at #18.
That song was #1 in Fresno on top 40 KYNO 95.5 and KMGX Magic104 back then, and I believe it reached #1 in San Francisco as well.
 
WMID 1340 AM in southern New Jersey
WTDK 107.1 Easton, in Maryland
 
WKII AM-1070 (Port Charlotte FL) briefly ran 50's-60's oldies but in AUG 2009 they switched to I-fart-radio (mostly 70's with a smattering of 60's).
