I think the station sounds terrible! Where is the Connie Francis? Where is the Tony Orlando? Where is the David Cassidy? Content wise this station gets an F.
 
There's also competition from another oldies station in Griffin, Ga. WKUE-AM 1450
and FM 88.9 "The Rock". :-\

All the artist you mentioned are played. Infact Tony Orlando was in just here in concert and True Oldies was the host with Spiff and Fred. BTW...The station just got the best numbers it has EVER had. It's a terrific Oldies station.
 
I agree! Neil is very out of touch not knowing that WYAY-FM just hosted a Tony Orlando concert in Atlanta..... They actually play alot of his hits and ALSO Connie Francis on WYAY-True Oldies 106.7. I have heard "Stupid Cupid" and "Lipstick On Your Collar" by Connie on there in the last few days. Remember, they do have a 5,000 song Oldies rotation!!!! And great for the numbers to continue to rise like they are!!! WYAY-FM is by FAR, the best adult FM in Atlanta!!!!

To confirm, Neil is out of touch because he does not listen to a station that plays music that is between 30 - 50 years old but those who do listen to such music are considered in touch.

Tony Orlando is alive? I must be out of touch too.

The sound quality comes across as over-processed or clipped.

Just sounds strange to me.

I was in Dunwoody over the weekend and they ALL sounded over-processed to my ear. The market is really getting hot on the processing side.
 
GTGO, you're still out in left field with your posts. There weren't 5,000 songs that even CHARTED between 1955-1980. Yes, True Oldies plays a lot of songs that you don't normally hear, but the core of their library consists of about 450-500 songs -- still pretty robust for an Oldies/Classic Hits station. Again, Scott uses "smoke and mirrors" programming techniques to just make it "seem" like 5,000 oldies.
 
The truth there is about 2,000 songs in the system at 106.7 but Scott always adds music that's not in the normal rotation and then maybe added to 106.7 Music is always being added. As they promote, it's the BEST mix of oldies anywhere period. I agree!

Hey widows_son...You know you love Tony Orlando!

Many oldies stations (the good ones before they went away) would keep a base library of between 1500-2000 titles. However they never...ever...played all of those titles at the same time. The actual playlist was much smaller (usually between 350-450 titles), and the "library" cuts would be sprinkled in as needed for morning show features, mid-day request shows, "car tunes", the "top whatever at whatever", My three songs, name your favorite oldies feature bit. It creates the "illusion" of a big playlist when there isn't really one.

Stations that tried to play all 2000 titles (or more) at the same time fail...every time.
 
Only FM Station in town I listen to... (unless B98.5 does a "special weekend). It is SOOOO nice to NOT hear the same 15 songs over and over and OVER again. Adding more 70's which is great by me. Keep up the great work, 106.7!

Me too, the only other station I listened to was Smooth Jazz, but that was destroyed as you know.
