Re: [IRCA] Rock formats on AM



Thanks Rick. I think I was trying to say that KFRC-610 had been rock since almost the beginning of the revolution. When 'oldies' were 'newies' so to speak, or more correctly 'Top 40'. I'd forgotten they went to 'Magic 61' and played Big Band music. Currently KFRC & 1310-with Radio Disney are about the only music (in english) on the Bay Area AM Band.

Minor correction, Don. KFRC went top 40 in 1966, and stayed in that format for 20 years. They became "Magic 61" playing big bands and standards for a few years, then switched to oldies. Family Radio made a trade with Infinity and changed 610 to the religious format they previously aired on KEAR. That was sometime around 2005, possibly a year earlier.

KFRC was Oldies format when the 'oldies' first came on the air
(60s)..They retained that format until 5-6 years ago when they sold the
station, which then became religious.  KFRC is now operating the 1550
station here in S.F. with 'oldies' once again.  Actually, they've been
there a year or so (maybe more)....

The old WTAK-1000 in Huntsville was a classic rock station back in the day. They went to that format in 1987, and at first, they were NOT simulcasting their
FM sister, which is extremely rare for an AM station with a rock format to
do. I think they've been WJDL (with varying formats) since about '94 or so.

Well another good station bit the dust. WERC-960 is gone replaced by the worse rock stuff. Has anyone reported this? I must have missed any reports. I miss
WERC.
