[size=10pt][size=10pt]Most Oldies stations today are devoting their Oldies Music to the late 60s & 1970s.& some 80s..I don't understand why WGNY-AM is playing 50s and early 60s music;do they have an audience for it ?

Why is WGNY-AM Playing 50s & 60s Music ?
- Thread starter xmradiopro
- Start date
I don’t think they had done this in the past , nor have I listened to them lately . Perhaps WGNY-AM is trying to add some listeners of former cross river rival WBNR which flipped from standards to talk several months ago.

I'm glad WGNY-AM is playing 50s and early 60s. I discovered GNY and its simulcast on 1490 while driving on I-84 a few weeks ago. I've been listening online ever since.
What else would you do with this station?
I agree, its an old format. But there really isn't anything else to do with it.

I think they would get a better audience by playing 60s & 70s music.

The 70's lovers have heard about FM.
They haven't listened to this station since 1983.
The only people listening to the tiny AM's in the Hudson Vally now are the geeks like us who are curious to see what owners have tossed in the towel, shut the thing off and went home.

As a 10,000 Watt Oldies station they need to get a live night time DJ...7- Midnight.

Why? The station goes all the way down to 180 watts at sundown. During the winter that's what, 4:30?
Oh I didn't realite they are only 180 watts at night...perhaps they should apply to increase their night time power.

I'm sure for a station that just went from 5K to 10K daytime you could probably bet successfully that they looked to get more than a tiny 180w at night to no avail. I just did a real quick scan and Quinnipiac College (WQUN) is also on 1220 not all that far away and also WFAS-AM is on a first adjacent on 1230 in Westchester. So I'm sure that has something to do with it.MusicRadioUSA said:
You would never get an argument from me for putting a live DJ on in the evenings! Live and local is what it should be; heck 180 watts would cover the greater kingston area, and I'm sure that any jock that took that slot would be happy to take requests and dedications. Nothing else like this in the HV except WHVW, who will take requests and dedications 6-9 am weekdays. problem is, no one wants to pay for an off hours dj when there are so many choices out there for sattelite shows. Interesting.....
