B 1079 class reunion weekends

R

Radioma18

They have been doing class reunion weekends since Memorial day. They started with the class of 1965 and are finishing this weekend with the class of 1978. All this weekend is 1978 and I think that anything over 1973 on a oldies (classic top 40) is to much. If I want to hear late 70's I will listen to 93-3 or sunny.
 
Well, I disagree. The last 3 weekends the music has been the best on radio for me in a long time. I only wish they played more songs from those years. Check their playlists on the website and you'll see they are playing the same 80 or so songs over and over all weekend. This 1978 weekend sounds a lot like 92X (WXGT) when it started in 1978. Does CC still hold the rights to WXGT calls? Remeber B1079 is not oldies anymore, it's classic top40 from 1965 to 1978. Oldies B97.1, Cool 92, Real Oldies 1230 and even WXLE 103.1 (remember that one when the station broadcasted like it was real radio, even had O'Malloy in the morning) all gave up on oldies.

I would like to see Saga play more late 70's and maybe clear up to 1982 or 1984 with a deeper rotaion.

Listen to WMJI Cleveland, one of top stations, plays less 60's, now more of 70's and some early 80's. And never uses the term oldies.

This post would have been on the money....ten years ago.

Times have changed.

Ten years ago, the complaint was that oldies stations were abandoning 50's to concentrate on 60's and 70's. But time marches forward. Few (radio geeks don't count) 25-54's relate to the 60's, and following listeners to their graves is a quick way to become a dinosaur in this business.
 
I love the class reunion weekends...anything in the 70s is a-okay with me! It's so much fun to listen to.
