The WLS Big 89 Rewind Returns

The BIG 89 REWIND will return again this Memorial Day Weekend! WLS Newsradio format will be replaced with the WLS we knew from the 60's and 70's from 5 AM to Midnight Memorial Day. Last year was the first time the station switched from the News and Talk Radio Format on Memorial Day and was a smash success with listeners. Some of the personalities that participated last year are expected to return again for this 89 Rewind. WLS NewsTalk 890 has announced who will be participating on their web site. Click on the Big 89 Rewind above for details.

The last years 89 Rewind was released on CD and all proceeds went to Orchard Village a Chicago area non-profit organization for people with disabilities. They will likely do the same this year.

Oldieslist's Official Oldies Station

I love Oldies Radio, but there is a guy that loves it even more. If it wasn't for Michael Scott Shannon, Oldies Radio might have disappeared from your radio dial. When you hear "Shannon is on the radio..." you know your going to hear some great Oldies. Scott Shannon is like the Energizer Bunny, he keeps the Oldies on the air from Coast to Coast and around the World Wide Web 24 hours a day.

We listen to The True Oldies Channel here in the Chicago area on 94.7 FM just about 16 hours out of the day. Every radio dial is tuned to our local outlet during the day as we work on the Oldieslist site or out driving around town. Many links found on our site have been inspired by The True Oldies Channel. So, we thank Scott and all the folks who are dedicated to Keeping The Oldies Alive, we are designating Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel the Official Oldies Station of Oldieslist. Thank-You Michael Scott Shannon for all your hard work!

Hey Man, Get ready for Hippie Radio!

If you are a Baby Boomer, and if you ever inhaled, this is really "Far Out". We all know the Oldies Format as we know it has been slipping away. It's getting harder and harder to get the music we grew up with on the radio dial. Now, a new way to market the Oldies format may be coming to a station near you soon.

It's an Oldies radio programmer dream come true, it's called Hippie Radio and it is being rolled out in several radio markets right now! WoW, that really is far out dudes and dudettes! It really is all the same Oldies music we enjoy, the format is just getting a "face lift". Still the same music we enjoy from 1964 to 1973 and geared to Baby Boomers aged 45 to 60 years young.

Read more about this format at their site Hippie Radio.net
