If you go to: robnewtonradio.com or ourgenerationsclassichits.com you can listen to Rob Newton again. I am listening right now. Mostly pop songs from the 60's and 70's with a few 80's tunes.

Motown music is some of the best music ever made. I would love to hear more of it on the radio.

Sounds like you have "inside information".

Classic country sounds good to me also. Gives a nice option from listening to WVLG.

Give us your thoughts! Thanks
I love the easy listening oldies from 50's and 60's,

50's-60's Oldies, Country or Folk. Actually any music from the Fifties or Sixties.

I know this sounds like a fun question, but it's not happening.

Classic country is what is missing. It is so much better than the current country music. My second choice is a combination of classic country and oldies from the 50-70 rock & roll.

I agree. There is way too much country music in this area for my taste.
