What in the world is going on?

I thought Delilah was playing some off-the-wall stuff (nothing unusual for her), but that's not Delilah.

One a more positive note, no one in the Triad has sounded that good in a while that time of night. Until the next song started.
 
OK chimp, by the totally vague, pointless, ramble on without saying anything we can grab onto post I guess you are really looking for someone to beg you what in the world you are talking about. OK, I'm in, "WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT"?
 
Oh god, I wish!!! It was one 70's snoozah after another! :'( :'( I kept thinking..ok, next it'll be something from the 80's or the 60's. Just give me the 30's! Any damn thing! It was like listening to Hitz on a real signal or something! Scary stuff. I was waiting for Bob Cambell to rise out of his coffin and do a break! ;D :D ;) I hope the next time I have to work a Saturday night, I can bring my own radio! :p ::) 8)
 
??? O Gawd, Now what..Campbell did what..Actually what in the hell are ya talking about???

Why shouldn't I? It's the best music there is. Most of the fans of that music have given up on terrestrial radio because they won't even bother with some of what I like.

There's also good 70s music too.

And then country sounded good prior to about 1990. Even country still has a few good songs being made.

B-b-baby, you ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet.

Or was it "Takin' Care of Business"?

It doesn't matter. Majic 94.1 was playing "Somewhere My Love'" by The Ray Conniff Singers. Good stuff!
 
I'm a gonna have to see if you're right on that. "Somewhere my love" is one of my all time fav songs. Any, and I mean ANY station that
dares to play that in this day and age is my new favourite. There was a station on 99.9 on the VA/NC border a few years ago that
played stuff like that. God, I loved that station. They'd play "Whisperin' Wind", "Mack The Knife", "That's Life", etc right in a row! I never changed the station! Is there ANYTHING like that on the dial now? I don't want to hear about sattelite or internet. That's for another board.

;D ;D I bet you were a Bubbly Welk fan too weren't you! Four Stars on that record Omar****

These people actually think we are serious, don't they!!?
 
Maybe if they would feature...like you know, the Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett hour. Or integrate some of those artists with some Nirvana.....like, you know, my Bong would probably explode!!!!!

I think it was only because Casey Kasem intoduced it, from an American top 40 show from 1973! Yea, good stuff indeed, Ray Conniff!

And no, hell didn't freeze over :D
 
I saw the Ray Conniff Singers in concert back in '72!
What a show! I still am shaking to this day!
It was fan-riffic!!! Better than that Pink Floyd guy!

The station at 99.9 is now struggling as Raleigh's new ESPN station.

Fayetteville has a station at 1490, and just west of there is one at 550. South of Greensboro, you can turn to 1280.

I don't know where you are, so it's hard to say.

As for Majic, I thought I said they did "American Top 40" at that time of the week, but it still doesn't quite make sense. Unless it was a special dedication.

If you go outside the area, I know Charlotte has the music on 1410 north and east of town, and 1150 to the south and east. In the southern N.C. mountains, 104.5 FM if you're lucky. asheville itself has AC on 104.3, so you're out of luck there. A station at 1600 comes close but no cigar.

And in Myrtle Beach, 105.9 on the north end, 100.7 in the south.

Those fans you are referencing didn't give up on terrestrial radio, they're dead, or deaf, or in nursing homes drooling all over themselves. That's quite a target for advertisers. You should ask Wes Jones why they switched WIST from "Timeless Classics" to whatever they're calling calling the country format they're running these days. I once heard Bernie Mann joke that he had to change formats on WGLD 100.3 from beautiful music to a more contemporary format on Joy-FM was because every time he saw a hearse go by it had one of his listeners in it (or words to that effect).
