Subject: A large door closed - Many smaller doors opened

I am sure there will be numerous postings as we approach the first anniversary of the worst format change in radio history. It is certainly not in anyone’s best interest to repeat what has been said over the past year about the change and how it was executed. My late Dad always told me that when one door closes another one opens. Let me modify this and say that on June 3, 2005 a large door closed but since then many smaller doors have opened. I always listened to many broadcast stations. Over the past year I have spent more time listening to WFUV, WMTR, CD101.9, Q104.3 and Lite-FM. I rarely miss Mark Simone on WABC on Saturday night. However, I spent much more time listening to Internet radio. I have found so many streams of oldies stations from other markets and Internet only stations. There are other genres of music that interest me as well. I have grappled with purchasing subscriptions to XM or Sirius, but am satisfied with listening to XM radio via AOL. I am limited to listening at my computer, but you can’t have everything.

My best wishes to the former over the air personalities. I hope that Harry Harrison, Bill Brown and Don K. Reed are enjoying their respective retirements. I am glad that Bob Shannon has landed gigs at WLNG, VIP Radio and Radiomaxmusic. Max Kinkel, Steve O’Brien, and Mike Fitzgerald have crossed the Hudson River and may be heard over the air and on the web at Oldies 1360, WMGQ, and the Breeze, respectively. Randy Davis has a weekend gig at Mix 102.7 while Cousin Bruce and Norm N. Nite are on Sirius Satellite Radio. Please forgive me if I’ve forgotten somebody.

I'd like to thank Mark who created this board for letting us vent and help to create a virtual community of oldies enthusiasts
