If my house is any example, Oldies 103 will regret their decision.

Time once spent listening to WODS is now split between WROR and
WWBB Providence which comes in as a local in the western and
southern Boston burbs.  The car radio preset that was 103.3 is now 101.5.
We do not miss that station.  In fact we kind of like the expanded list of
music we get between our 2 choices.

There is nothing to go back to.  We have moved on.
