Great! When??? We have enough 90s music on Atlanta airwaves! I'd drop the Journey moniker.wpb1999 said:

So if I want 70s "Classic Hits", what do I listen to?
- Thread starter wpb1999
- Start date
You can always listen to Pandora and create your own 70's channel. 
There are these things called mobile apps where you can listen on your smart phone. You can even connect them to your car stereo system...But no need to worry it's just a fad and will never catch on...Move along. There's nothing to see here.

What about late 60's Motown, the Beach Boys and the Beatles? If not, then as far as I'm concerned, they will not be Atlanta's New Home for Greatest Hits and what about my friends who live outside of 285 in Acworth, Douglasville, etc who can't get Journey? Why can't they just move AGH from 106.7 to an HD-2 and keep it the way it is now?

I can get Journey just fine in Gwinnett. Better than 100.5, I might add.
Nostalgia (30s/40s) disappeared in the 80s (who remembers WJYI/WJYA/WJYF Joy AM/FM on 104.1), golden oldies 50s in the 90s...time marches on...at this point you'll be lucky to get early 70s AM gold...RadioFreak69 said:

Any competently programmed classic Hits/Oldies station will still have plenty of early seventies gold; the problem for many of them is decreasing the amount of pre-Beatlemania stuff and adding more eighties stuff, of which there is a TON of which fits perfectly on Classic Hits/Oldies stations, and plenty of AC stations as well.
There's also some outstanding 70s shows great for the weekend, including those hosted and created by legends such as Charlie Tuna & John 'Records' Landecker.
Toss in Casey Kasem's American Top 40 The 1970s and 1980s versions, and you're all set to do very well with 25-54s and make a ton of $$$$$ in the process.

I say we all move up I-75 to Chattanooga! We can listen to 107.9 Big FM - Chattanooga's Greatest Hits! ;D

Big 107.9 is another Cumulus station though. However they also have a translator on 106.9 (Hippie Radio) which is more oldies than Classic Hits.
IT_Guru said:
Yeah, why the hell can Chatt have this and we can't????? Their jocks on the music side sounds better than AGH. Great jingles too...This really makes me mad.....Furthermore, they are on a 25k stick and the most we can hope for is a 250 watt translator, is something wrong with this picture??????

My point was Chattanooga has two stations so if Cumulus decides to mess with Big 1079 at least they have another station. I think the reason AGH was so bad was because Cumulus set it up to fail. They made up their mind from day one to switch it to all news
Hippie Radio in Chattanooga is owned by Brewer...not Cumulus.

Yes I know. I was talking about Big 1079 Being owned by Cumulus
From what I can tell, Washington D. C. doesn't have a soft-70s station - neither does Charlotte, and neither does Dallas
