YES IT IS A DIRE SHAME IT IS NO LONGER ON EVEN IN A SMALLER STATION. I SEE COMPLAINTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ABOUT THIS AS I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NOW. THE BROADCASTING EQUILIBRIUM IS DAMAGED BEYOND AND TO PAY FOR SATELLITE AND FEED THE COFFERS OF THE FCC IS NOT WHAT I EVER HAD IN MIND. TRY WKTZ JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA ON THE NET NO STRINGS ATTACHED. RATINGS HAVE GOT THIS COUNTRY IN A SEVERE DOWNWARD SPIRAL. I WAS MUSIC DIRECTOR FOR PARENT COMPANY BONNEVILLE IN THE 80′S AND WHAT YOU HEARD ON WRFM IS MANY SELECTIONS I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR.

I can remember by heart much of the tape espeacilly the line: "WRFM's easy music hour continues from 93 on the dial with music just right for you." This was during the Egypt/ Israel war and a garbage mans strike in New York. It was the sheer word perfect delivery and the tone of the annoucers voice that was so New York. I wish that I still had the tape. I always regarded WRFM as the king of stations. Andrew. London.

I was a teenager when the switch was made, but WRFM brings me back to fond, family-related memories, and having worked at a Beautiful Music station for a short period of time about 13 years ago, I know the sound is familiar enough to take me back in time. A very good pick-up on your part. Mike, I wish I knew who you were, because I’d be interested in some of the music you received.

I contacted him about getting some WRFM cd's and he sent me so many that it will take years to hear them all. The copies are so clean it feels like I'm listening to the station live. Jim Thank you!.......I offered to pay and instead he insisted that I spread the music around by making copies to anyone who enjoys easy listening and WRFM 105. I don't understand why this music is not back. Especially with the new HD radio technology. I wish I had the money to start a station. I know that a beautiful music format would do well. Especially if I was able to hire Jim D to program it!! He the type of good people you don't meet enough!! Thanks again Jim! Jim Dilaurenzio is the best!!

Living in Peekskill NY, WHUD was the station I grew up with. I recently found a copy of their old hourly and half hourly jingles and it really brought me back. I never liked the format as a kid growing up in the 80's but boy I've come to really appreciate it. My Mom use to say "one day you will like it" She was so right. Over the past 5 years I've collected hundreds of songs from Paul Mauriat, Lex DeAzevedo and so many others. I think nowadays road rage is such a problem because of the void of this format. When I get stressed out all I have to do is put my Ipod or Sirius XM on and it really is relaxing in heavy traffic. I'm so glad XM brought the format back but I think commercial radio would be surprised of response they would get if they brought the format back. Especially now with this new HD radio technology. WLTW should do it. They had a real nice soft rock format on their HD2 channel but have changed to country. Whatever the case I hope someone does it.

Ken Lamb left WRFM to work on WPAT well WPAT never sounded right WPAT was using old equitment WPAT had no compression WPAT never had The Optimun their sound was very flat PAT was using The Gitner . WRFM allways had a ROBUST sound thanks to Joe Alasa The Engineer on WRFM.In the 90's WPAT had their own crummy format they were not on Shulkie . Ken Mc Kensy was the Program Director and Morning D.J. His format stunk. Poor Ken Lamb WPAT fired him in 1987 as well as another station in Long Island then Ken did the Special of the week syndicated that was a bomb .Beautiful Music was fading away .I still have the recording of Ken Lamb when WRFM pulled the switch at midnight. I also have recordings of when Ken Lamb worked on 100.7 WFMZ Allentown,Pa.when Ken worked on WFMZ that was syndicated Ken's voice sounded better on WFMZ than WPAT and PAT Ken was live . WPAT AM/FM 93 had old out dated equitment in their studio's. WRFM had the best of everything . You can hear the Bonneville beautiful music WKTZ 90.9 FM Jacksonville ,Fla. or online WKTZ.COM . You can listen to 101.1 WAVV Naples ,Fla. that station has 20% programed from Bonneville give Norm Albert a call.100kw.

WHOM 94.9 transmitted from Mt. Washington , N.H. some 6,000 feet up with a power output of 48,000 watts I used to listen to that station when I was in school mid 80's Albany , N.Y. Another great Bonneville music format. Back in the 70′s WWOM Albany NY was on Bonneville WHOM 92.3 in NY City moved up to N.H. 1975 . WHOM 94.9 transmitted from Mt.
