Oldies Back on FM in Portland!

sound?

But it's not like they were in some sort of rush to get the station on the air. If they were going to have jingles, they'd have signed-on with them. The two songs you mention certainly don't belong on a Classic Hits station. It could be they're trying to 're-invent" the format in some sort of hybrid/variety hits type manner. But if they're trying to fulfill any Oldies demand, they're not goig to show well 25-54 playing Hermits or Chapel Of Love.

There is an aircheck to them posted on the Aircheck Collectors board. I'm downloading it now to see for myself what they sound like.
