While we are sharing favorite Lite AC stations, I would like to give a shout-out to a station in Louisville, KY, WESI. www.easyrock1051.com/ I don't know how they sound on the ground, having never been there, but their stream is excellent and their PD does a great job with the music -- until about 5 pm (MT) when Delilah comes on. Oh, and while we are talking about formats that are not really programmed anymore, let's give a toast to KMGR in Delta, Utah for their Full Service format midutahradio.com/kmgr and KNCT-FM in Texas, still running Beautiful Music! www.knct.org/knctfm.htm(Now you know which stations I listen to at work when the office gets too noisy.) |

Wow. A real honest-to-Marconi Beautiful Music station. I've been looking for one for a while now. A lot of people confuse Beautiful Music with Lite AC. *shakes head*
Thank you for that.

I'm sure you know that many of the stations that used to play Beautiful Music transitioned from that to Lite AC on the path to where they are now.

Wow. A real honest-to-Marconi Beautiful Music station. I've been looking for one for a while now. A lot of people confuse Beautiful Music with Lite AC. *shakes head* Thank you for that. Wow, I thought I was the only one here who remembered how popular the Beautiful Music format was in the '70's and early '80's. Growing up in a Minneapolis suburb, 93.7 WAYL-FM "The Beautiful WAYL" was one of the most highly rated stations in the market after WCCO and KSTP. If I remember correctly, the station even had a mascot made out of some material like paper mache that looked like like a giant white whale which was brought to live remote broadcasts in the Twin Cities. The call letters belong to a Christian station in Florida now and 93.7 became KXXR with an active rock format many years ago, but if you go to YouTube and do a search for "WAYL," you can watch a KARE-TV video about the station from 1986. That was just two years before the station dropped the Beautiful Music format in favor of a classic hits format, and moved the BM format to its sister AM station. |

Since we have drifted in to a brief "Beautiful Music" tangent here, I can't help but to put in a plug for KAHM in Prescott, AZ. Just like how the format was done in the 60's and 70's. kahm.info to stream.

I could have sworn I checked out KAHM at one point and noted them as one of those confused-with-Lite-AC stations. Thanks for pointing me back to them. Listening now I was clearly wrong. Unfortunately the low bitrate on the stream gets grating on the ears really fast. The stream itself is at www.ophanim.net:8020/listen.pls if anyone would like to give a listen though. I wonder if they will keep the format. Last year they got a construction permit to become a Phoenix rimshot. |
