When I reposted my review of stations I had previously set but had long since abandoned when I first started this site, one of the stations I brought up was Jammin’ 105.5 KKKJ/Klamath Falls, Oregon. I did not return to the station for another year or so, until one Saturday evening last March. You will…

Interestingly, the column from Shawn Ross is about the throwback format in bigger markets this week, as he profiles Chicago’s WSHE and Miami’s WPOW.

Note, this post is copied exactly as is from my previous blog, the Radio Crytic, with only a few spelling errors corrected. There is one update in here as well. I originally published this on July 28, 2021. Perhaps a fresh listen to some of these is in order. I have all the big radio…
