ABC Radio changed struggling Active Rocker WZZN to "94.7 True Oldies."
From me: This could help Emmis' Classic Rock WLUP and Alternative WKQX.
Edit: Somebody on radio-info posted that Chicago never lost Oldies because they have WRLL-AM, but that station is currently 29th in the ratings.

I like a lot of songs that got little or no airplay.

I'm not sure if it's still in existence.

That new oldies station in Chicago is utilizing the 'True Oldies' format created by WPLJ's Scott Shannon, which has around 30 affiliates.

Shannon will also be doing mornings on that station while the search is on for a new morning show.
