Another 80s station gone

[tico]

This time, it's Birmingham's WBPT as they change to classic hits as the Eagle. You can just about literally count the number of 80s stations left on one hand.

If that station had a VERY tiny library (250 songs max) and played 85% alternative like lots of other horribly programmed 80's stations out there), it's a wonder that it lasted THIS long!!!!!

Radio Locator lists only three all-'80s stations still in existence:
KHPT, Houston
KXCL, Sacramento
WBPT, Birmingham
WPOI, St. Petersburg

There's also one in Dayton, but for some reason, they forgot to include it.

Cox really must enjoy letting dead formats linger here in Tampa Bay. (Before WPOI, there was Jammin' Oldies, and before that, all-'70s.)

Cox moves slower than snails when it comes to hanging on to low-performing formats. See their urban station in Atlanta and their country station in Birmingham.

WMXQ in Jacksonville, Fl is also an 80s station

97.3 the brew is considered hits of the 80s and more. they play almost no current stuff, and some stuff from the late 70s, but otherwise, standard stuff they play is bon jovi, def leppard, ELO, scorpians, boston....etc.

KVMX in Portland, OR is an all-80's station.
