If I might make a helpful suggestion: Given the large volume of messages on RD, it is better to have a more descriptive topic header to get better responses.
For example: "WBIC in the 1970s" would have been much more specific than what you used.

Thank you for the suggestion I will rewrite it

How about rewriting the first post The OP misspelled and misplaced words, making it unintelligible to read and understand.
I'm not trying to stop the "Grammar Police" from doing their job, but Audie's "where" mistake could be from his phone autocorrecting. My phone keeps on trying to insert the "most common used" spelling of a word instead of the spelling I typed. If you are dictating a post, take time to read it. Sometimes what your phone shows is comical.
When I started radio back in the day of electro-mechanical teletypes and rip and read news, I learned to read over any mistakes and make it sound "OK" first read. Thankfully the folks at AP and UPI where a very good grammatically without computers. The AP "phonical" spelling of a name or location sometimes went down a rabbit hole but they did better than I ever will.
And "They play AOR format" could be a sign that English is not Audie's first language.
He seems to have been in the country at least 40 years to remember AOR .
Yes that format disappeared in the early80s

Because Classic Rock started coming into being, and the rest of the AOR "genre" split into different programming strategies, namely Alternative, Metal and Active Rock.
