No.
When they kill a jazz station or a big band station or a classical station (which I've experienced once, twice, and three times, respectively) that's murder.
Taking away the oldest oldies by converting to a mid-60s and 70s playlist is more like slow poisoning. (Converting Oldies to Jack would be poisoning PLUS torture.)
I'm technically a baby boomer, but I think music started going to hell by the time Nixon was elected (1968 for the historically challenged). You figure it out.
Yes, Infinity had the right to change it, of course. Just like Clear Channel, Cox, and Salem had the right to make three unpopular flips
here earlier this year. But if station ownership weren't concentrated in so few companies, we'd have more choices and the changes wouldn't be so traumatic: another company would start an oldies station.
