Re: WCCM Changing Format

["Matt Stevens" <wnbp.radio@verizon.net>]

We've been playing a locally produced adult standards format at WNBP in
Newburyport since 1998. Although we do play a few of the artists you have
cited as not liking, we daypart them and keep them out of the format at
night and weekends when younger people are more likely to be listening.
Those artists and songs were hits...someone liked them so we'll play them.
