The Long Forgotten Formats

The Vaudeville Years 1890-1900
The Ten Year Period 1900-1910
World War 1 Period 1910-1920
The Roaring 20's 1920-1929
The Swing Era 1930-1950


There seems to be very few stations anymore that still play big bands or music from the early 20th century.

KORK AM 920 was the last station that did so.

KJUL does a fairly decent job but they've abandoned 60's standards for newly recorded standards featuring Diana Krall & Jim Brickman.

It's very unlikely that you will an Artie Shaw or Bing Crosby record on radio or music from the 1890's, 1900's 1910's, 1920's, 1930's 1940's.

The stations playing this music would have to appeal to 85+ plus listener or even 92+ plus listener. <P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by billboardmister on 06/26/05 04:21 AM.</FONT></P>

I like Big Band and Swing music from the 30s and 40s. My grandmother gor me into that music. It is pretty entertaining. Wonderful sounds of the 30s and 40s.

Hmmm. I'd be interested in attending an auditorium test for hits of 1890's. What tunes would they test? "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here"? "Sweet Adeline"? Who knows? If they test well, they may wind up on Jack
