In the Bay Area we have KABL 960 AM. Similar to 570 AM in L.A., they play mostly pop standards, but sometimes they play something awful like Barry Manilow. Occasionally I have even heard Martin Denny! A few years ago they dumped the primarily 40s-60s music format and started to play mostly crap from the 70s to now, such as Manilow, Streisand, Diane Kral, etc. There was such a hue and cry from their loyal fans that they went back to the original format by popular demand! How often does that happen?
