Re: WTRY

That's right -- SHO-FM, which started in another format (Top 40 or AC, not
sure) but flipped to oldies when 99.5 went oldies... but I was thinking of
a third simulcast era for WTRY-AM (the SHO pair wasn't a simulcast with an
AM). It would have been before or after SHO, because I'm 99% sure that
there was no other oldies station on FM when SHO and 99.5 went oldies in
the middle of an oldies ratings surge on FM nationwide.

Getting older (three months to the big 4-oh) sure screws up memory.... :)
