Music playing on 860AM WAMO today
- Thread starter thefalcon
- Start date
I was listening to Tom Joyner this AM and when the weather came on, the signoff line was "R & B and classic soul." I will be super happy if the music is back.
No Bev Smith show tonight! is the automation on because a satellite feed was down or are we back to music on AM 860 in the day.
I've seen AM 860 flip-flop between Classic Soul/R&B and Urban talk...not to mention the WAMO and WYJZ calls. You never can tell with that station. It would likely either be automated jockless, voice-tracked, or satellite. I think I can pretty much guarantee no local talent in real time. Whatever they're doing now that's new, I would hope they would market it well.

Music is playing on 860 again tonight. I wonder if their network deal (I think the syndicator was Radio One) fell apart. In any event, unless this is some massive satellite/network failure, I'd say they've changed the format again.
Personally, I would like to see 860 succeed with R&B oldies. It would mean one more successful AM station, and a better environment for listening to our two stations. The more stores open in the mall, the better.

We'd been tipped to this as well by one of our readers over in Da Burgh, and here it is in the PG:

It looks like both Tom Joyner and Bev Smith stay...they were on before, of course.

Unfortunately, Brother Matt's name is missing from that list... :-\

I know. It was a shame to hear his voice depart from the 104.7 the Beat programming lineup. He's one of the greatest talents we have in Pittsburgh. I think he has a job outside of radio that pays substantially more (which could be just about anything
)

)Mark, I hear you every evening on WORD, before and after "Nightsounds" with Bill Pearce, which is a nightly staple in this household.
As for Brother Matt, the people in the Big Orange Building have so lost touch with him that I got a recent e-mail from somebody there asking for his phone number. Maybe they're going to hook him up with WWSW's Jammin' Oldies HD2 stream. (Excuse me while I enjoy a hearty laugh.)

Y'know, I am constantly blown away by the popularity of that show! Not as a negative comment toward the show, but in view of the tremendous variety of people who say they never miss it.
Is Brother Matt still in Pittsburgh? I drove him home several times back when I worked as a limo driver, but that was the late 90's and I've wondered if he was still there. (Not to worry, I won't mention the location even if he isn't there anymore.)

"Nightsounds" is clearly a product of its time - I get a kick out of the Ray Conniff music selections sometimes - but it's entirely unlike anything else on the radio (with the exception of WMBI, where Bill Pearce started) and I think that's one of the reasons why it continues to be so popular.
As far as I know, Brother Matt is still in town. He is doing some Internet radio and has a Web site at www.brothermatt.com.
