Re: [IRCA] True oldies mystery station on 850



I believe the True Oldies Channel played songs from the '50s when it first began but of course they were forced to believe that anything from the '50s is too old. That's what the so called experts would like us to think.

Those are the same people who say that the word "oldies" should not be heard on regular over the air radio and should be replaced by "classic hits" even though the average person calls this music "oldies."

According to an interview a year or two ago with Scott Shannon, his True Oldies Channel never plays anything from the 1950's, so it probably wasn't WAXB.

Heard a station with a True Oldies format on 850 tonight.
They played the song "Silhouttes" by the Rays and also a discussion about
the Marcels who sang Blue Moon

I checked all the available oldies web feeds on 850 at the time and found
no sign of it
The station's signal was right over WEEI in Boaton during a fade for a
short time

Not sure which station this could be , of course no ID's during the
programming

Any help would be appreciated on this one
