WJMK Chicago went Jack radio. It's as if my 14 yr.old nephew
controls the radio dial. Annoying.
Happening all over the place. In Boston it's WMKK 93.7 "Mike FM". "We play everything" Well, no Muddy Waters or Merle
Haggard or Irish Rovers or Frank Sinatra, but hits of the past few decades...Aerosmith segued with Village People and a taped announcer (who needs DJs?) attempting to crack a joke.
Oldies on the way out, nationally? Or at least they're playing stuff from more recent decades. Notice how many oldies stations stopped playing 50s stuff after awhile? They figured folks who grew up in the 50s are now too old in the "demographics", etc. Ratings were growing stale for some oldies stations, and I guess this is how WCBS-FM responded.
