92.9 The Grand FM

Not sure if anyone actually reads this anymore, as regular posts have long ceased, but just in case I wanted to mention that both Ted Yates and Ray Michaels are now back on the air! The Caledonia-based FM station 92.9 The Grand is playing hits of the 1960s, '70s and early '80s.

While a lot of the former Oldies 1150 listeners may not like the fact that Elvis, Buddy Holly and The Platters will likely not be heard here (and may not appreciate the likes of Honeymoon Suite and Bryan Adams in heavy rotation), it still is a comfort to have these familiar voices back on the airwaves. I just hope they don't make the same mistake as all the other stations and keep a very shallow playlist that burns out rather quickly. Dig deep, boys and keep these interesting!
