40's On 4 Goes Up!
- Thread starter IndustrialH
- Start date
Huh. Odd switch. I suppose it puts it with other genre stations, but that leaves 50's, 60's, and the rest all by themselves.

As a little house warming present (or in this case channel warming present) here are the top 10 reasons we’re moving on up.
1) 73 was also a good year for wine.
2) 73 is the new 4.
3) The rent is cheaper.
4) It’s just 4 in dog years.
5) We’re on the lam.
6) We could fit more musicians on the stage.
7) When Sinatra says move it, you move it.
8) Boca just isn’t our scene.
9) It’s closer to the grand kids.
10) 73’s the perfect temperature.

I don't know if it's such an odd move as it puts the forties music next to Sinatra.
I hear ya. I just always think in terms of that grouping, 40 on 4, 50 ON 5, ETC.

My letter from SXM says the channel will be called 40's Junction. Everything else will be same. It better.
Us 40's fans were not too happy what happened last year with the Billy Joel channel and made it clear.

It's also the number of years that have passed since the 40's.
If you all recall, Holiday Traditions was on Ch73 in stereo last Holiday season instead of Ch. 4 while 40' on 4 stayed on the radios. Now 40's is moving to Ch.73 permanently. So now we'll see if Holiday Traditions takes over on Ch.73 and preempts 40's or moves to Ch.4 and preempts Petbull.
I'm with the others on "what else is coming our way?" and "why? This makes no sense. 40sON4, 50sON5..."

Oh no Semi. 40's and Sinatra have major differences, 40's on 4 is 40's of course, but also some 30's and 20's. Songs popular at their time.
While Sinatra is standards beginning in the 40's and moving forward into the modern era. The weirdest thing I've heard on Sinatra is Rod Stewart singing standards. Sinatra also has family hosts: Nancy, Tina, AJ Lambert while 40's is automated. Of course they are in the same musical category. It is likely you would like both but not necessarily. I enjoy both but I think goreds is a Sinatra fan only.
Well if you look at the Facebook pages on SXM, you are right.
40's has 8,451 likes
50's has no facebook page
60's has 13,741 likes
70's has 14,927 likes
80's has 25,036 likes
90's has 24,376 likes.
But 40's has some passionate fans. Their was quite a meltdown by fans due to the Billy Joel situation. When 50's and 90's lost their DJ's, I don't think their was quite as big of a stir. I look it is as the 50's being the beginning of the rock/pop era and that is how the decade channels are classified, so it makes some sense to move 40's to Jazz/Standards.
On the
other hand that 4,5 6, 7, 8 and 9 has always worked pretty good. Just as long as it is somewhere, I'll be pleased.
Moving it in with the genre makes sense the more I think about it.
I picture people flipping between all of the standards stations, but not flipping from 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's, and then down to the 40's. The 50's is the station I wonder about now. I can picture people going from 40's to 50's, or 50's to 60's, but not past all three.
