Old Time Radio,Nostalgia Music and More is on The Air!
Are you living in the past?
If so, a new Vancouver-based radio station may be just the thing. AM 1700
delivers a variety of music from 1898 to 1970, including nostalgic, big
band and swing music. It also hosts Old Times Radio (from 1929-62) and
news, information and education for the visually impaired and disabled. It
offers newspaper reading provided by the Oregon and American Councils for
the Blind,The National Federation for The Blind and other sources.
On AM 1700, you’ll also hear historical audio, such as presidential
speeches, D-Day coverage, USO tours such as Bob Hope’s and more.
The station has about 12,000 Old Time Radio recordings available,
originating from 45, 78, 33 and 16 RPM records, and even a few Edison wax
and tin-foil recordings(over 35,000).
The low-power station operates in Vancouver’s Salmon Creek-Hazel Dell-Five
corners area, with a slightly stronger signal at night, when it can reach
a bit south of SR 500. For those outside the broadcast area, it can be
heard on the Internet at

historical and provides a public service,” he says. “And above all, to
provide programming that people enjoy.”
