Tom,

The Oldies station in GR moved and changed call letters.  It is on 98.7 WFGR.

I can get it with my rotatable FM yagi from Lansing, but it probably doesn't 
have the ERP of the former station on 107.3.

    Well, it'll sure be interesting to see what happens to W O K Y within
say a year or two.

We had a pretty good oldies station in Grand Rapids, MI, and the same thing
happened to them;  one day, they just turned into an alternative rock
station, with no explanation as to why.

You would think that the market would be there for good oldies stations,
with the baby boomers like many of us, but who knows what drives some of the
decisions Clear Channel makes.

Will enjoy W O K Y for now, I guess.

Might be something good to listen to in the office while I'm working.

The streaming audio link sent by Howard really does work, and I love the
stereo!
