Re: KFRC-San Francisco

KFRC was the oldies station in San Francisco. At least I have a tee shirt from them, that I won while visiting.

"Radio's KFRC dropping oldies (STATION'S NEW FOCUS: 38- TO 49-YEAR-OLDS)
"At noon today, Bay Area oldies radio station KFRC-FM (99.7) will drop the format it has had for a dozen years and start focusing on an audience it says has been ignored for too long: the people some are calling Generation Jones, 38- to 49-year-olds who were too young to identify with Baby Boomers and too old to be Generation Xers.
"With its first song, ``One of These Nights,'' by the Eagles, the San Francisco-based station will leave behind most of the music of the 1950s and 1960s, in favor of what was big from 1975 through the '80s."

Despite the press release, I disagree with the idea that "Generation Jones" as they call it has been ignored. Most markets including SF have several stations that target this age group.
I could see KFRC losing older listeners without replacing them with the demo they desire, since those listeners are spread out all over the dial.
