Anyone playing music of your life format

[JohnA]

I have been thinking that there is a small but
unserved audience of elderly people for the
old 'music of your life' format. This story
seems to indicate that it's successful in Ohio.

We have a number of retirememt villages/nursing homes
but they are geographially dispursed. Could have
a Pt 15 AM at each facility but STL cost would
be prohibitly high. Any ideas?

I started out with a part-15 AM, but went streaming on-line back in January. We serve a very loyal niche. Polka format.

Our licensed LPFM station plays a jazzy adult standards format. We seem to have a loyal following and showed up respectably in last fall's ratings. In the county we cover, we did better than some commercial stations on 12+ and did very well with the 50+ audience. It's not a format that everybody appreciates, but we've tried very hard to keep it from being boring or sleepy. Basically, the music needs to be a "toe tapper," and have lyrics that you can remember or a tune you can hum after you've heard it. If it meets those criteria, it will keep people listening. We also have a decent Internet following at www.kzqx.com . It might work for you.

Here is something close:www.wnar-am.comReCreation Radio 1620 AM.Successfully playing a nice mix of oldies, standards, jazz, 78's and Golden Age radio classic dramas. It's a recreation of what a typical station sounded like when radio was king of electronic media.
