The end of Timeless Favorites (Citadel/ABC) is fast approaching. Any guesses on what these stations new format will be? The GM says it will be similar.
Many Timeless Favorites affiliates have already dropped the format, including WDEA in Maine (Now running Music Of Your Life), and 2 stations down south just within the past day.
Obviously they will be off the bird in one way or the other but there aren't many "Similar" options. They are:
Greatest Mojo formerly Classic Hits Radio, formerly Oldies Radio formerly Pure Gold. AKA Citadel's Oldies format that isn't "True Oldies Channel" 1050 in Kenosha carried it until Citadel bought it.
Music Of Your Life: I know WSPY-AM (1480) was running Music Of Your Life last time I heard it in person. All reports after it was Timeless Favorites.
Dial Global Adult Standards: This is probably the closest bet.
Dial Global Kool Gold: The other option if they don't want Greatest Mojo from Citadel.
Dial Global also runs Dial Global Custom (formerly Waitt Radio Networks) where they send the stations the music, generate the logs, voice track for them, etc. Similar formats to Timeless Favorites available thru this service include:
The Lounge
Good Time Oldies
If they wanted to go the local route, Dial Global also offers Custom Formats:
Soft Gold
Oldies
Adult Standards
For the record, Timeless Favorites (Is/Was) a mix of oldies with a touch of standards and AC. Or better known as MOR
