From Radio Insight: Longport Media flipped Sports Betting 1490 WBSS Pleasantville/Atlantic City NJ to Regional Mexican “El Jefe 1490” last month.

From Radio Insight: Veteran News programmer Jim Farley died from a heart attack while undergoing surgery for an aneurysm. Farley is best known for his seventeen years as Vice President of News & Programming for WTOP Washington DC from 1996 to 2013 where he oversaw the move of the station from 1500 to 103.5 and establishing it as the consistent top billing station in the country. He began his career at WINS New York as a copyboy in 1966 rising his way up to news editor. Farley jumped to NBC News Radio in 1975 and rose up to Vice President of Radio News. He would then move to ABC Radio News as Managing Editor and General Manager of News from 1988 until joining WTOP. Since retiring from WTOP in 2013, Farley has been running his News Doctor consultancy. In a memo making the announcement of Farley’s passing, WTOP SVP/General Manager Joel Oxley shared, “Of course, his work here at WTOP is legendary.* As PD of WTOP from 1996 until he retired in 2013 Jim took us to new heights. Most importantly, Jim was an absolutely fantastic person.* Time and time and time again he would make me laugh when I went into his office.* He was truly one of a kind.* I miss him already.

From Radio Insight: Each year, Ross on Radio takes a look at the songs added by various successful Classic Hits stations documenting the format’s overall modernization, with all but a few holdouts pushing into the ?90s, early ?00s, or even beyond to songs still played by CHR and Hot AC. Often, the story occasions a reader question: What songs has Classic Hits dropped? It?s a lot more complicated to determine what songs have gone away from individual stations than it is to see what?s been added ? you?re looking for what?s not there, not what?s new. But by comparing Mediabase?s most-played Classic Hits for the year 2014, the year 2019, and the past seven days, we do have a sense now of the songs that have left the format overall in a significant way. It will come as no surprise that the format has shifted significantly over the last decade from ?70s-driven to ?80s-dominated. (Despite the push forward on certain titles at certain stations, the consensus hits across the format remain ?80s titles.) In 2014, all but three songs in the top 25 most-played Classic Hits songs were from 1979 or before. (The most notable exception was ?Don?t Stop Believin?,? already at No. 3.) Since 2014, some of the top 10 have moved down a tier, but are still significantly represented at the format: Lynyrd Skynyrd, ?Sweet Home Alabama? ? No. 1 most played in 2019, No. 39 now Boston, ?More Than a Feeling??No. 2 to No. 41 Billy Joel, ?My Life? ? No. 9 to No. 78 Steve Miller Band, ?The Joker? ? No. 10 to No. 86 Fleetwood Mac, ?Go Your Own Way? ? No. 13 to No. 92 Others have dropped more sharply but are still likely represented at those stations where ?top 300? has usually been synonymous with ?safe list,? although some playlists are in the low 200s. Manfred Mann, ?Blinded by the Light? ?* No. 4 to No. 165 Jimmy Buffett, ?Margaritaville?? No. 7 to No. 155 Fleetwood Mac, ?Don?t Stop? ? No. 17 to No. 154 Electric Light Orchestra, ?Don?t Bring Me Down? ? No. 23 to No. 196 Then there are those onetime ?70s powers that now exist primarily on those stations that remain determined to play a deeper and/or greater number of ?70s titles: Supertramp, ?The Logical Song? ? No. 14 to No. 448 Bachman-Turner Overdrive, ?You Ain?t Seen Nothing Yet? ? No. 18 to No. 413 Rod Stewart, ?Maggie May? ? No. 32 to No. 332 Gerry Rafferty, ?Baker Street? ? No. 45 to No. 528 Steely Dan, ?Do It Again? ? No. 50 to No. 597 Many of Classic Hits? current power ?80s songs were already significantly played at the time, but still rose proportionately: Queen, ?Another One Bites the Dust? (24-14); Bryan Adams, ?Summer of ?69? (26-15); Eurythmics, ?Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)? (36-2). The most noticeable difference for a current power is Cyndi Lauper?s ?Girls Just Want to Have Fun,? up from No. 204 a decade ago to No. 9 now. The differences between 2019 and 2024 are more subtle, especially at the top, where all but two of the top 30 five years ago were ?80s songs. The 2019 power most clearly diminished between then and now, at least based on this week?s information, is Men at Work?s ?Down Under? (No. 9 to No. 38). The songs with the sharpest drops within the top 500 are, again, mostly ?70s songs, beginning with ?The Logical Song? (now down 163-448), followed by: Stray Cats, ?Rock This Town? (No. 219 to No. 496) Billy Joel, ?Movin? Out (Anthony?s Song)? (183-456) Bee Gees, ?Night Fever? (133-359) Cars, ?Shake It Up? (201-421) Police, ?Roxanne? (232-452) Foreigner, ?Hot Blooded? (171-388) Eagles, ?Heartache Tonight? (263-480) Kim Carnes, ?Bette Davis Eyes? (208-418) While programmers have been more cognizant of those ?70s titles that have fallen out of playability, the early ?80s are often of a piece in being lost to time. That even includes a few songs like ?Shake It Up? and ?Rock This Town? from the early MTV era. Then there are the songs that have fallen out of the top 500 most played altogether ? again, well below the place where a song could be considered safe-list in any way: Rolling Stones, ?Miss You? (No. 220 five years ago) Frankie Valli, ?Grease? (No. 271; ?You?re the One That I Want? by John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John goes No. 159 to No. 338) U2, ?Pride (In the Name of Love)? (No. 273) Greg Kihn Band, ?The Breakup Song? (No. 296) Doobie Brothers, ?What a Fool Believes? (No. 299, not buoyed by the interest in ?yacht rock?) That does, of course, lead to the question of what songs within 2019?s top 500 have made the biggest gains in rank. Those are often, but not exclusively, ?90s titles: Cure, ?Friday I?m in Love? (1992) (No. 500 to No. 207) No Doubt, ?Don?t Speak? (1995) (401-137) R.E.M., ?The One I Love? (1987) (386-124) Goo Goo Dolls, ?Iris? (1998) (375-118) Aerosmith, ?I Don?t Want to Miss a Thing? (1998) (470-235) Cranberries, ?Dreams? (1993) (485-264) Michael Jackson, ?Smooth Criminal? (1988) (352-135) Proclaimers, ?I?m Gonna Be (500 Miles)? (1993 in the U.S.) (403-198) A little further down, you?ll find Whitney Houston?s ?How Will I Know,? proving that even a 1986 hit can move back into public consciousness. So has Paula Abdul?s ?Straight Up.?* Finally, these are the biggest debuts from outside the top 500 over the last five years. Just as the early ?80s are starting to fade, some show the ascent of late-?80s titles that represent a new generation of listeners: Roxette, ?Listen to Your Heart? (1989) (No. 200) Tiffany, ?I Think We?re Alone Now? (1987) (230) Billy Ocean, ?Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car? (1988) (248) Roxette, ?It Must Have Been Love? (1990) (255) Poison, ?Nothing but a Good Time? (1988) (263) Aerosmith, ?Crazy? (1993) (281) Third Eye Blind, ?Semi-Charmed Life? (1997) (282) ? the first debut of a ?90s song that doesn?t have an artist connection to the ?80s. more
