It's the first new launch since Cumulus took over the brand. "Good Time Oldies" will be a 24-hour format, available to stations April 28, featuring music from the golden era of pop, rock and soul--centering on hit music from the 60s and 70s?and positioned slightly earlier than traditional Adult Hits-formatted stations.
Good Time Oldies will feature several well known personalities from around the country. Jim Zippo has worked at WDRQ/Detroit, WEAM/Washington DC, KQOL/Las Vegas and KTKS/Dallas, and has done mornings nationally for over 12 years. John Summers marks 30 years as a PD, MD, and personality on such stations as BJ105/Orlando and WMMO/Orlando, and he currently does PM Drive on KLUV/Dallas. Kevan Browning will join Good Times Oldies from his current role on WestwoodOne?s Classic Hits format, after a long on-air and programming career with stops in Milwaukee, Memphis, Houston, and Dallas.
The satellite-delivered format will be built on a single clock, with break structure that will allow a station to air local spots or play music seamlessly. All affiliates will be provided with an imaging package, whether they elect to use the version nationally-branded with Good Time Oldies or construct it using their own imaging and slogan.
