WJTO

***If you are asking about AM 730 in Bath then the answer is "for the most part". They still play elevator music in the main playlist but they have sprinkled in some light oldies such as Jonathan King's Everyone's Gone To the Moon etc. (heard it today) and in the past I've heard other light Pop tunes.

JTO's format is about 30% instrumentals, many with piano-lead with orchestra, and 70% adult-standards vocals mixed with lighter pop. Goes back to the 40's often with the big bands and crooners and croonettes. But the likes of "She Loves You" by Beatles are inserted in there just to raise eyebrows of people who think they've figured out the format. :) - So, it's not "beautiful music" as a format even tho there's more beautiful music on it than any other station in New England/NY. Actually the orchestra pieces, which are usually pretty lively, sound better, as a break in the 3 or 4 vocals preceding each orchestra selection. - WJIB in Cambridge, has the exact same formula. Slogans are "Memories 730" and "Menories 740"

***Bob Bittner owns both stations thus the consistency with the format.

They used to have an excellent talk program on Sunday mornings that discussed issues with the radio industry.

"The Breeze" is a breath of fresh air on the radio dial.:)
