KTXR Springfield

I noticed today that KTXR has gone to "The Great Hits of All Time"  when did that happen?  It sounds good though.

I first noticed it around Mother's Day.  While it has a brand consistent with oldies, it sounded like a mainstream AC.  I believe the M&M Boys, longtime KTTS and almost 10 year KOSP morning hosts, are programming it.

Yeah, I first noticed the changes in either April or May.  Less oldies, soft AC and standards...though still some of that is still left.  More of a mainstream AC feel with current pop artists (Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, etc.)   Only listened a couple of times, but it seems like less use of the longtime motto of "The Gentle Giant". 

Not many soft AC stations left.  I guess the new normal is soft AC sounds more like mainstream AC, AC sounds more like Hot AC, and Hot AC sounds more like CHR.

I'm not really that happy to hear this----this was kinda tried prior to the soft AC, wasn't it?

Anyway...are Wayne Glenn's shows still there?

I too am disappointed in KTXR shifting to a Mainstream AC format. Folks who want to hear the timeless classics that KTXR used to play now have to tune to KBFL FM 99.9/AM 1060.
