B 1079 drops Dick Bartley Rock & Rolls's Greatest Hits

R

Radioma18

I just noticed that he is no longer on the web site. They have Tom Kent's Hall of Fame Coast to Coast on every night now. I guess it was a matter of time since they made the switch to more 80's and less 60's.
 
Too bad about Dick Bartley's show I did like that.

However, now I think they should get the following shows back in to the line up.

Nina Blackwood's Absolutely 80's
Backtrax USA with Kid Kelly
Ultimate 80's
 
It's a shame. Dick Bartley's sound is a nice change of pace from Tom Kent, who gets a little hacky from time to time. Why have him on all seven nights a week?!
 
I would not add any 80s specialty shows.

I would add Kent's "Into the 70s" and even Charlie Tuna's 70s show.

NO 80s. 80s is not oldies.
 
80's not oldies? I disagree.

In the mid 70's we harkenedback to the 50's with a kidney punch from American Grafitti that swirled into Happy Days. In the 80's The Big Chill brought back the love of 60's Motown Music. In the 90's we saw the beginnings of the Jammin' Oldies 70's disco hybrid format. As a rule, 20 years back is an oldies format. There is no reason that in 2007, 80's music can not be considered some form of "oldies" music.

I talked to Robb Case a bit this wekend about the whole 80's debate. I really believe that the music, played strategically on a station that was formatted well could OWN the 35-54 female listener and where momma goes, the family follows. I could type a few volumes on this thought process, but momma wants me to get in the van and get to church and what momma wants...
