We lost a Modesto Oldies station KVIN 920 in Modesto California early 2023. There is only one station left with oldies in the California Central Valley and that is KYNO Fresno California at 940 on the dial. There are no oldies stations on the entire FM band seen from the San Francisco Area. The phenomenon of losing so many oldies stations is that boomers are all retiring out. There are so few diehards left to keep oldies alive. Our Oldies music from the TV audio dropped the 1940' and 1950's swing band and rock-n-roll in the last 4 years now. Most of what will remain are those 45 RPM records collected and still possibly playing in old folks homes perhaps. Just need to dust them off and become your own private radio DJ. Most full-time oldies stations across the country are using automation and an occasional on the air DJ during peak driving hours. Wolfman Jack radio is only by recordings from that day being played on the air of only few AM radio stations. No more 500,000 watt radio stations out of Mexico. I remember the Mexican Government shut them all down. 1090 Kcs on Pacific coast, 1570 Kcs Rio Grande are just a few broadcasting out of Mexico in English of course.. We rock-n-rollers are pretty much stranded when it comes to AM radio. I used to receive WLS 890 oldies out of Chicago here in the SF Bay Area in the 1960's.on my transistor radio. In 1986 AM radio lost all coast to coast DX reception. California had over a dozen competing Oldies stations mostly in the Central Valley and the big one at 1090 below the the Mexican border right bellow San Diego in Rosrito Baja California at 500,000 watts not 50, 000 but 500,000 watts. It was so powerful it drowned out adjacent frequencies at times. Wolfman Jack was always on the radio even up to quitting time of 3AM. They would sell long play 33RPM records all by mail order, remember? You would call to order them using a Los Angeles Telephone number when Direct-Long Distance-Dialing first came out no longer needing a telephone operator. Now its cell phones replacing even pay phones where on air DJ's would take requests or dedications from street teens listening to portable radios or car radios. Anybody else want to write? I am all ears. Carl, former 1960's DJ in training. I used a legal 10 watt AM radio station to play oldies back then. So Long..
