oldies return

[mud_rok]

My first question would be what is the billing for

Q101?
The Zone?
Kiss?
Love FM?

A potential 16M biller with a 2.9 share is a given
that someone will jump on. Someone will be jumping
on this real soon and ALL ACCESS reports there is
a few operators in line to do just that.

Who is most likely to do it?

Let the speculation begin!

There is already an oldoies station in Chicago! WFMT!

WFMT isn't an oldies station. They're a Classical station. WRLL is an oldies station (pre-1964).

The vast majority of their playlist is a lot older than WJMK ever was

There is no room on the dial for a pre-1964 station. I think that ship has sailed. I can see the drive hitting some pre-1964 songs, but not too many.

You have no sense of humor.

Per Inside Radio and BIA, the 2004 billing was $20.3 million.

Billing 16M with a 2.9 may happen IF all the variables that were present at JMK are present at the next (IF ANY) oldies station. Without variables like Biondi and Winston, I'm sure billing will be lower.

Ben E King - Stand By Me
Brooker T & The Mgs - Green Onions

The Drive has been playing both of these, even before WJMK went Jack. They also play pre 1964 Beatles songs.

IF (and that is a BIG if) 670 would go oldies, how would that mix with their sports commitments? Could, and, would the listeners stay thru a ball game to here Herman's Hermits?

If yes, then go for it. If no.....
