Why Music Of Your Life is the best

I

IBadget1

I have been listening to the Music Of Your Life lately and it is the best. Here are 2 reasons why MOYL is the best:

1. MOYL mixes Christmas music with regular music during the holiday season. Dial Global, on the other hand, is 100% Christmas. With MOYL, you can get in the mood for Christmas without giving up your regular music.

2. MOYL plays more real Adult Standards than Dial Global, which seems to overdo the soft rock oldies fare.
 
I heard Music of Your Life on the way to the beach. I can't believe how good it sounds. I don't quite understand why Jim Croce's "I Got a Name" needed to be there, but overall, it was great. Then I lost the signal.

Dial Global seems to be backing off of soft rock oldies compared to a year ago.
 
Music of Your Life has always done a good job delivering the standards and since my friend Jim Raposa has taken over the programing it has gotten even better in my opinion and not because he is a friend. Jim also does his show live from Atlanta where we both live. When you want the good standards you can always come home to MOYL. I listen everyday day online.
 
I have to agree. If you asked me 10 years ago, I would have picked Westwood One (now Dial Global). Westwood, ABC and Music of Your Life had similar playlists but ABC's air talent sounded like rambling old coots and MOYL had minor celebrities who seemed just too full of themselves.

Now, to one extent or another, they've all moved in the direction of soft rock oldies, but MOYL has drifted the least. They are still the only place on terrestrial radio that plays anything approaching adult standards. MOR or nostalgia.

However, my first choice is XM Radio's 50s on Five. The best part is you can listen online for free without subscribing and it comes free also if you are DirecTV subscriber.

It's really getting tough to hear non-rock hits, big bands or any standards singer who isn't Sinatra.

I remember Atlanta having Music of Your Life (I used to look at the Constitution when I would go to the library) and then I remember reading the station went all-business, but it still didn't show up in the Arbitron ratings. With Jim Raposa there, has that changed? I know that name from somewhere.
 
I did afternoons at am 1160 in Atlanta when it was MOYL. Boy do I miss those days! Jim Raposa lives in Atlanta and does a syndicated radio show called "Frank & Friends that airs on the MOYL network on the weekends. We were gonna air his show on am 1160 but were airing "Sounds of Sinatra" with Sid Mark and the manager did not want two Sinatra shows at the time. Jim has taken the programing job at MOYL and has done a fine job so far I think. He's live from Atlanta from 12 noon to 3pm on MOYL but does voice track his show from time to time.

Sid Mark may be the great enemy of standards radio. He has convinced a lot of people, in and out of radio, that standards is Sinatra, all Sinatra and nothing but Sinatra, or else Sinatra-like and reeking of Las Vegas, rat pack, booze and cigarette smoke.
