by Rachael Recker | The Grand Rapids PressGRAND RAPIDS -- WGVU AM is answering more than a few West Michigan prayers with newly announced radio station, Real Oldies 1480/850.
The all-oldies NPR radio station, playing local to national hits from the mid-'50s to early '70s, will be hosted by former WFGR-FM (98.7) personality Len O'Kelly and Bill Bailey, formerly of WLHT.
The announcement comes on the heels of WFGR changing its format from Oldies to Classic Hits -- a maneuver that displeased many loyal oldies listeners in the area.
"It's our hope that through public support that (oldies music) doesn't get taken away again," O'Kelly said.
The format was abandoned in 2004 with WODJ and again recently with WFGR.
"Our hope is third time's a charm," O'Kelly said.
