Not one Bay Area radio station plays ’50s and ’60s music anymore. All we get is Country, Hip-Hop, or Led Zepplin.
101.9FM used to play oldies 5 years ago. First, they turned country, and now it’s all Rap.
99.7FM used to play oldies like 2 years ago. All they play now is Hip-Hop and Rap.
There is not one station that plays the oldies. Don’t we have variety anymore? Not everyone listens to that ghetto s.h.i.t.
It’s been years since I’ve heard a Beatles song on the radio.
Funny. I just answered a question from a young lady complaining she was bored because all she could get in her small town was oldies ;<)
Ah, Frisco – The Bay City and Waaaaay too hip for oldies anymore.
In the Bay area (depending if you are SF, SJ or out east), keep your ears on KLLC-FM 97.3; KITS-FM 105.3; KMVQ-FM 99.7. They are CBS. Big management shake-up and maybe a format change for you. One of them might make the change. I would think with the formats on air in NY and LA, SF might be right for the new CBS oldies format.
In San Jose, KUFX 98.5 is classic rock (code for Hippie Music ;<)
Out east there are some smaller FM stations you’ll have to twist around for.
I understand your frustration, but mind the mouth, there are kiddies about.
Good luck.

Is there a radio station in San Diego California that plays oldies like Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, The Beatles. thanks would help a lot.
kxo 1230 am oldies, kpln 103.7 classic rock, kgb 101.5 classic rock
I always listen to CISL 650am for oldies, however I am trying to find a few more good ones in the area to "fall back on" when CISL has talk airing (Saturday Morning).
I tried 104.9 CFUN oldies. However, I just am not a big fan of this station. They seem to be a little too "flashy" with their hosts and on-air spots.
Are there any other good oldies radio station in Vancouver to listen to?
I listen in the car, so no internet radio please!
97.3fm Seattle swiched to talk.
When I used to live in Vancouver I listened to Classic Rock 101 a lot.
we’re in love we two
That’s from the song, "You Showed Me" by the Turtles. It has also been covered by The Lightning Seeds and a few others.
I would like to start my own station someday, but for now I would like to learn more about radio and how it works.
Would a radio station let me work around their studio if I just wanted to "volunteer". I wouldn’t need pay or benefits, just experience.
They might, but you wouldn’t know until you ask them, try looking around their website, and see if you can get a name and phone # to contact. Now please don’t be surpised if they might be too busy to talk to you, but like I said you have to call them and ask. Like see if you can find a program director, or somebody in mangement.
I know I have asked this question before, but I want more opinions.
In Vancouver, British Columbia we have a couple good stations.
All Time Favorites CISL 650 (my personal favorite)
At this station they have almost Triple the amount of songs to play while other stations have a relative small amount of songs to work with. Also, they always take your request, everything from the Ink spots to Elvis, and from Gordon Lightfoot, to the Guess Who.

Fun FM / CKCL 104.9
I personally don’t really care to much for this one, I find some of the hosts pretty annoying, however I do listen if CISL has a talk program or something

What about your areas stations
Hi Wave FM 96, but it;s in spain and i guess you’re not. Plays great music from 50’s till now. Starting 6 in the evening it plays 60’s,& 7 70’s etc. Not sure of www. but is something like www.wavefm.com.
Here in Spain there a lot of stations playing good music(classic songs) but try this one first.
There was a radio station circa 2002-2005 in Greenville South Carolina that played just oldies, Oldies 106.3. That station isn’t around anymore sadly, but I remember it fondly and would like to know if anyone else out there that remembers that station, and if so, I would like for us all to join the group "Bring Oldies/Classic Hits BACK to the airwaves in Greenville/Spartanburg!" on Facebook. Someone please answer!!!
i know that My 102.5 and WROQ 101 play "oldies" i am referring specifically to the "oldies 106.3" station, and i also am aware that it is now a women’s talk station.
That frequecy is now called WYRD and it’s a talk station out of Simpsonville.
102.5 and 101.1 both play classic rock-type music and 103.3 calls themselves "oldies" which may be just what you’re looking for.
-a guy named duh
i tried to email the station and did not receive a response, so if anyone happens to know the answer to this question, that’d be great!!
depends on the show and time of broadcast
regards x kitti x
WJMK is a station called Jack FM now. They no longer play oldies.
94.7 Chicago’s True Oldies Channel is located at http://rope.947thezone.com/splash/ims.htm
Does anyone happen to know how long it usually takes to get the badge from Radio 2 if Steve Wright chooses your Non-Stop Oldies to play?
Zoz Usually 2 to 3 weeks.
