WMYF 1380 (NH Seacoast) to ESPN

They should buy a domain name and really try to takeoff as an internet only operation. Internet Radio is not yet the standard for radio advertising but they can get a decent audience and definately make money. I'm sure he/she has the money as they invested in the operation on 87.9 in the first place.

I feel badly, not so much for the loss of Standards but because there is virtually no soft music station available on the radio anymore. 94.9 WHOM Mt. Washington-Portland has over time become more uptempo and has eliminated most 70s soft hits, although I suppose that still is the softest station on the dial. 98.7 WBYY Somersworth started out as a very soft AC but gradually became a standard AC station. 95.7 WZID has also morphed from Soft AC to a more uptempo, more contemporary presentation, where Nickelback and Pink are core artists now.

If you want to hear the Soft AC that was common 20 years ago on the radio, you're pretty much out of luck. Almost no where on the dial can you hear the soft hits of:

Neil Diamond...Carpenters...Barry Manilow...Anne Murray...Fifth Dimension...Dionne Warwick...Barbra Streisand...Bette Midler...Air Supply...Olivia Newton-John...Tony Orlando...Captain & Tennille...John Denver...Kenny Rogers...Gordon Lightfoot...Carole King...Linda Ronstadt...Joni Mitchell...Judy Collins...Cat Stevens...George Benson...

Need I go on? Uptempo Oldies are still common, even though a few years ago Oldies stations were dropping like flies. Programmers found out if you blend in some 80s titles, you can still play the Uptempo Oldies of the 60s and 70s. But nothing too soft.

So goodbye WMYF and all the soft music that the station still aired.

If you are within range, try WFEA-1370 Manchester...or if closer to the coast, go for WJTO-730...they do get about 30-40 miles inland.
 
You could try 1240 WFTN Franklin NH or 1300 WPNH Plymouth NH if you're in the Lakes Region. They carry a standards format.
