It would be nice if oldies did return, but it isn't likely. Not impossible though, there has been some oldies comebacks. The target for oldies is starting to get out of that 25-54 range and advertisers aren't interested in folks above the age 55. Oldies stations are starting to lose money.<P ID="signature">______________

The Oldies format needs to change, and stop focusing on the 50s and early 60s. This goes for San Diego too.
I don't think Oldies is dead at all. It's the definition of the format that needs to change. The music Jack plays should be on an oldies station (minus some of the Hot AC mixed in). I think and Oldies station can survive San Diego, or anywhere if they would just keep up with the demo.
And again, we are misusing the term "Oldies" when we should be using the term "50s and 60s."

Portland, Or. lost it's KISN 97.1 to Charlie, so i decided to create macradiofm. But after i was just doing The 50's to the 70's i decided to make mac2, the 60's to the 90's!
I like the 50's and 60's still, but i'm tired of most of the 50's songs.
I am 50 now. I grew up listening to KHJ, KEZY-AM, and KWIZ!
I listen mostly to my mac2 station, without commercials. It cost me $40 for the two stations and the website.
And it's even fun!

Vern, oldies radio as you know is dying so I am glad to see you're doing your part to keep it alive for those of us that care!
My wife and I vacationed back in July in Portland and went to Yamhill County's Wine Country (We are Winos!! Remember George Carlin's radio station "Wonderful WINO!!" ) Anyway we went to McMinnville and we thought that town was so cute! We went to the park went to the Turkey something street fair, had dinner at the McMinnville Hotel (??). You people are so polite! We walked 5 blocks from our parking spot to the street fair and without exception every driver let our party of 4 cross the street unmolested...Try THAT in New York City or Southern California!! You live in a beautiful part of the country, we envy you!!
