Just heard Jody say a major announcement Friday morning at 7:10, what is it?
 
How about giving away $5,000 when you hear a commercial played during Peter Z's "commercial free" hour? Oops, there went a prerecorded spot right in the middle of Kym West's traffic report...you just won $5,000!!!

(Metro or not, Westwood One or not, all roads lead to CBS, and it's STILL a commercial...and even moreso now that it's not even Kym reading it...it's a 10-15 second "produced" spot crammed in the middle of her prerecorded traffic report.)

They can call themselves "classic hits", but so far as I'm concerned, they're currently running an oldies format. They're playing pop hits that range in age from 20 years old up to a bit over 40 years old -- which pretty much describes what they were doing ten years ago, when they did call themselves an oldies station.

In fact, if you think about it -- the music that they're playing today is actually older than what they were playing when they first started calling themselves an oldies station in the mid-eighties. At that point, they covered the mid-fifties through late sixties, music that was not much more than 30 years old at the oldest. Today, they still play a little music from the sixties -- music that is now over 40 years in the past.

Oldies requires the inclusion of 50s at the very least...chuck berry is oldies...the 70's-90's aren't oldies to me.
 
Mike S...thanks for calling us out on the traffic spots in the 5p hour. It was something I woulda, coulda, shoulda handled, and didn't. It's a simple matter of moving those sponsors to other reports, which we'll do.
