Where will all the former WOGL/Oldies 950 jocks go?

After Oldies 950 goes sports, what will become of Charlie Bennett/Christy Springfield/Jim Nettleton? It would be great to have them back in some capacity on WOGL. Bill Matter as well. We all know The Geator will show up someplace, sometime, lol.

how about to a retirement party. Geeze man, relax about all of your buddies.
I'm sure they'll find homes, Philly is famous for bouncing around the same dj's station by station. Why not go out and rally the troops for the Jocks like Cousin Brucie over at WCBS who lost their jobs after a lifetime.Your WOGL friends didn't have to jump ship for Greater Media. and ssoner or later they'll sound just as played out as their format is. Why not encourage them to go to satellite. There really is life after after the 50's and 60's era man, spin the dial a little more than you do presently.

You feel the same as me reading some of these post. Unbelievable. They don't know when to let go. Something that is tired out or teched out, there still playing 78's on their turntables.
I picture these guys with thick black framed glasses, never had sex, and has an old 60's model pinball machine down the basement.
WPEN, WAMS, Voice of America, Citizens band radio on the big 27 MHZ on your dial. How can we turn them around?
Okay nerdees, I'll answer your question one more time for everybody...throw out and discontinue your IPOD's, Xm's, big plasmas, smash your servers or towers and don't buy another one so you won't have any internet access, throw away your dishes, close down Best Buy, (tired) huha huha huha, huha, ooook, did I miss anything? Once we complete this task, then we can be dependent on the big 950, 1260, 1390, 1600, with 1000 watts! of ionospheric POWER. I'mmmmm taking your request right now at CO3-8900 on the big (fade out).....

do you think it's any wonder the OLDIES stations as opposed to any other format were the ones replaced by the JACK-FM formats?
 
Just one person's opinion, but if i were sirius/xm.....i would try and build an oldies channel from these wonderfully talented people, whom many of us went to school on early in our careers....

i can hear jim nettleton on 60's on 6 from XM...very easily.....or how about ingram and nettleton on the same channel......hyski, if his health permitted could do nights.........

AND THERE ARE OTHERS.....technology is amazing...a vector box in their den or family room and it could happen.....

What does that have to do with my reply topic? What you may be saying is that oldies are singled out and replaced only with a jack type format. They have too. The 60's music has been mentioned before is dated. It's Played out. AM is dated. Your already seeing talk slowly switching over to FM. There's not enough formats to make all 10,000 or more stations successful. Everything seems to have to be up and running successfully in your mine. Every spot has a purpose. What's next.......AM 860? 1540? ok, if they can financially grab a niche smoothly, fine with them. But if they go off tommorrow, go bring your candle light vigil elsewhere. I'm not being mean...but sometimes I think some of you guys are on some substance that never cleared. If we all thought and lived in your world, we still be using turntables. Have a nice day.
The only reason AM is still on full of chatter is because they are required to stay on. If not over 55-60% would turn the switch off tommorrow.
Radio is a down real estate economy. Meaning, it's overbuilt.
 
This is a great reason to deregulate and de-socialize AM. The government should sell off its ownership of frequencies and finally permit private ownership. Uncle Sam may not get much money for his "air" but at least it will go to the private sector. This bull about licenses and government permission to operate a radio station will go the way of Communism in the Soviet Union.

I am talking about Capitalism here, not anarchy. Private ownership of frequencies means that trespassers will be prosecuted. Owners would control the air, not the government. When it is shown to be a success on AM, then FM will be ready to go private. Maybe it can be done before radio completely dies out.
