Still Lite In HD-2

Written Apr. 4, 2007 by Sean Ross in HD Radio with 0 Comments

Okay, so if WLTW New York is suddenly downplaying the "Lite" word after more than 20 years, what is its "Classic Lite" HD-2 multicast channel doing?

Listened to WLTW-2 this morning and the word "Classic Lite" handle was still there. But even in HD-2, the use of the word "lite" had given way to some drops that referred to the station only as "106.7, HD-2." In 45 minutes or so of listening, the lite and non-lite identifiers were rotating roughly every other break.

The "Classic Lite" handle is still on the HD-2 station's logo as well, but has been downplayed along the lines of WLTW-1's logo as well.

And here's the station we heard this morning at 11:40 a.m.:

Andy Gibb, "Shadow Dancing"
Chris DeBurgh, "The Lady In Red"
Jim Croce, "Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)"
John Lennon, "(Just Like) Starting Over"
Crosby Stills Nash & Young, "Teach Your Children"
Paul Davis, "Cool Night"
O'Jays, "Love Train"
Righteous Brothers, "Ebb Tide"
Steve Perry, "Foolish Heart"
Tony Bennett, "Who Can I Turn To"
Andrew Gold, "Thank You For Being A Friend"
Jr. Walker & All-Stars, "What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)"
