Philadelphia is getting ready for a new country station!!!

If another country outlet would surface, I just hope it is not the "so-called" modern style. A good Classics format 55-75 would be great, but would never happen in this area...a bit of Hank, Jack Greene, Grandpa Jones, Mel Street, Kitty Wells, Cash, Cline, Reeves, Jack Scott, Ferlin, Marty Robbins, Roy Acuff, Bobby Bare, The Browns, Lefty Frizzell, Don Gibson, Merle Haggard, Homer & Jethro, John Horton, Wanda Jackson Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Bill Monroe, Willie Nelson, Buck Owens, Dolly Parton, Marvin Rainwater, Webb Pierce, Hank Snow, Hank Thompson, Ernest Tubb, Conway Twitty, Porter Wagoner, Slim Whitman, Faron Young and thousands and thousands of other great artists from the 50's, 60's and early 70's, now that was country at its best. I remember hearing some of these people with the start of WRCP and Nick Reynolds, it was like a whole new world opened up, and for some reason those older country tunes had the best stereo separation I ever heard. I was tired of hearing the Philly "soul sounds" non-stop on the Philly stations, and this music was a breath of fresh air...Another format that is just a dream would be to bring the WHAT sound to a powerful FM, they have the best on-air library of any station by far, just to hear instrumentals on the air once again, just heard the Peter Gunn theme Ray Anthony, followed by Baez's better version of the Night They Drove Old Dixie Down...now that is variety and made a hard core rocker stay tuned to WHAT. BTW when was the last time OGL or any other oldies station played an instrumental????
 
The only time you hear instrumental music on radio is as "bumper music" for talk shows or as a music bed to talk over in a spot. The only other places to hear instrumental music on the radio in the Philly/Wilmington/Trenton area is WRTI (90.1 Philly, 107.7 Wilmington translator) for Jazz and Classical Music. These radio markets no longer have a "cool jazz" station which is another venue for insturmental music.
