They were standards before they moved. Raleigh hasn't had a good standards station since 1995 (it's now The Buzz). WCHL sort of played standards, when they bothered to play music at all. I used to pick it up and they definitely weren't standards, despite the News and Observer's claim in the Sunday Arts section. I told them. Later, WCHL sounded better. Barry Saunders said he was their only listener and that's why they switched to talk. But the station he described, which I could no longer pick up for some reason, sounded pretty good. Even at night I could only pick up WSAI on that frequency.
