They may know Jack, but they don't know music. I grew up listening to Oldies when they were newies. One of the niches W-CBS filled [in New York] was playing Doo-Wop, a somewhat regional mainstay. Plus, they had most of the 'jocks I listened to as a kid.Aside from telling me I'm demographically irrelevant, the decision makes me real glad that: [a] I now live far enough out on Long Island that I can get two local Oldies stations, and one from Connecticut, and [b] I went with satellite radio in my truck [XM] where they have different stations dedicated to different decades [OK, sometimes they run early '60s stuff on the '50s station-along with "Morse Code of Love", which the Capris didn't cut 'til the '70s], but CBS had already redefined "Oldies" as post early '60s, and cut all the OLD stuff from the play list. Still, a real bummer.

I'm glad we still have RealOldies 1690, which is also on the web.

At night you should also be able to pick up WKBW 1520 AM out of Buffalo, NY too. It's a 50,000 watt blowtorch that beams along the east coast. Still plays 50's & 60's stuff with actual diskjockies.
