Music from '50s through '70s returns to the airways with WGVU-AM move to oldies format

Music from '50s through '70s returns to the airways with WGVU-AM move to oldies format
WGVU AM is answering more than a few West Michigan prayers with newly announced radio station, Real Oldies 1480/850.

The all-oldies NPR radio station, playing local to national hits from the mid-'50s to early '70s, will be hosted by former WFGR-FM (98.7) personality Len O'Kelly and Bill Bailey, formerly of WLHT.
......The format was abandoned in 2004 with WODJ and again recently with WFGR.
"Our hope is third time's a charm,"
O'Kelly said.
........."We want people to say, 'Wow, I haven't heard that in 40 years,'" O'Kelly said.

Also, the station will be the first NPR station in the country to adopt the oldies format, "which is kind of cool," O'Kelly said.

Find the fool that authorized this move and fire him/her/it NOW!
