VBF.... Very Brief Format

68/RKO is a given... That was the gold standard.... WVBF was Top 40 from 71 to 80, not so brief. I wouldn't mind hearing the late Bud Ballou era again. I didn't care for their AC incarnations... It never sounded focused to me.

WHTT might also deserve another whirl.... circa 82 - 83 was the best that station ever sounded in my opinion.
 
I am surprised that no one has taken the Big 68 format and reproduced it on the internet.
I wouldn`t mind hearing the NOW radio imaging again. Either online or in HD.
Another choice would be WHDH (later as WCOZ) when they played beautiful music.
 
I could go for a local WBCN, not the watered down CBS version. FNX just doesn't have a good signal on the south shore (Sorry WBIMDJ)

WMRQ 103.3 (again in the late 80s)
WCOP 1150 in the early-mid 70s as a country station

WNAC 680 around 1962

They were old fashioned even in 1962, but had a certain class.
