Chicago area radio: What happened to Magic 104.3 Oldies?

[Chicago526]

Geez, I go away for the weekend on business and they up and change a radio station!

I drove to work this morning and was "channel" surfing the radio dial. I have (had) the Oldies station pre-programed in (I'm 29 but love older music, heck, music of all types as long as it's GOOD!) but it wasn't the Oldies station any more, it seems like the format is 80's rock.

Magic 104.3 has been around for decades, I grew up listing to it because it was my Mom's favorite. They were having contests and promotions last week, so I guess it was sudden. Anyone know what happend?

I tried to look at their website, but it just gets all goofy on me. From what I can get, you are now able to listen on-line. Does anyone knowof another oldies station? 97.1 is pretty good, but just not the same.

Someone was talking about that station the other day..... I believe their format now is "We play whatever we want".... I don't think there is another oldies station out there, 97.1 is good though

80s is now oldies.

Apparently if you have a digital radio you can choose between the oldies station and the new variety station. DH said details were available on the website.
