Soft AC stations streaming

I

IBadget1

Two Soft AC stations recently started streaming: Ocean 104 (WOCN 103.9) in Cape Code, Massachusetts, and Magic 100.9 WKLI in Albany, New York. I think Magic 100.9 started streaming a few months before Ocean 104. Magic 100.9 and Ocean 104 are similar in that they both have sister AC stations: B95.5 (WYJB) is a sister AC station to Magic 100.9 and WQRC FM 99.9 is a sister AC station to Ocean 104. Magic 100.9 and Ocean 104 are also similar in that they used to play traditional Adult Standards music (Dean Martin, Peggy Lee, etc), but is now playing lighter-than-lite Soft AC music (Anne Murray, Barry Manilow, etc). Magic 100.9 and Ocean 104 also do news every hour on the hour.

Sort of makes sense in both cases. True adult standards has all but disappeared from the radio dial for the most part.
 
I was just thinking about yet another Soft AC station: WTRV FM 100.5 the River in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which has a sister AC station of WLHT FM 95.7. The funny thing is that the (Mainstream) AC station uses the "Lite" moniker and the Soft AC station uses the "Soft Favorites" tagline.

I didn't know WTRV was still streaming. I used to listen to them a lot, but the link I'd be using quit working a while back. btw, thanks for sharing the info on WOCN and WKLI, I got a chance to listen to them and really liked both of them, especially WOCN.
