Full-service KGY 1240 Olympia has shifted their music from AC to 60's/70's oldies, but retains their local-centric approach. This includes hourly CBS news, an hourly local newscast/weather & play-by-play sports (local, regional, national). Calling themselves 'the new KGY 95.3', they don't even mention AM 1240 anymore, preferring to push the FM translator. The hour I auditioned via their stream was impressive: nice 'spot' load with plenty of sponsor/station tie-ins, 10 full min. of news every hour, traffic & twice hourly weather. Listening, I couldn't help but wonder if THIS is the route I'd love to hear 'NW pursue. On a personal level, I didn't find the music tracking 'deep' - only the Billboard Hot 100, which I burn out on pretty quickly. The only oldies station I'll listen to continuously is KSWB Seaside which tracks very deep for an oldies outlet. Good job KGY - worth a listen if you enjoy a full-service station! BTW, the "dry" imaging liners sure sound like Vancouver Island voice pro Greg Peacock!!
