I used to enjoy listening to big band music on 830 WCRN out of Worcester/Framingham area but they went to an oldies format sometime last year. I like oldies too, but it's hard to find 40s type music on AM these days so I miss WCRN in that sense. At 50kw, they have a potent signal up this way. You might give them a try too. There was also a station over in NY that played big band music a few years ago, but they got bought up by Disney and ended up playing children's music and soundtracks from Disney movies. Think it was WQEW? Up near the top of the dial. It's always more enjoyable to hear some old music on AM broadcast rather than more talk radio, but to me at least, there's nothing like hearing some Glenn Miller or Tommy Dorsey tunes rumbling out of a big old speaker with the receiver dials and tubes glowing away. Thanks for passing this on, Larry - I'll have to fire up that SX-28A in the front foyer that you were tuning around with in December - bet it'll sound great, WABC always comes in here well.
