That's WKVL, Bert. They're now Classic Country. WGAP-1400, WKVL-850 (along with simulcaster WLOD-1140) and WKTI-1040 have all flipped to that format in recent months. With 1040 having dumped Adult Standards, that format is now gone from all three East Tennessee markets (Chattanooga, Knoxville and Johnson City/Bristol/Kingsport). Ten years ago, you could hear THREE different Adult Standards satellite feeds on three Knoxpatch daytimers, 670, 1040 and 1180. Is this format becoming commercially extinct at a comparable speed in other markets? I remember the instrumental/beautiful/Muzak version of it was fast disappearing from FM about 20 years ago. Are the vocals now going the same route?

There's a WKVL, but it's listed as alk. Did I mishear something or has someone changed formats?
