Waitt Radio Networks says its latest format, The Lounge, is “the new sound of adult standards.” WRN provides localized 24-hour music formats and will offer The Lounge with localized content for affiliates. It has been running on KOMJ(AM), Omaha, Neb., since April 1.
“The music is timeless, everything from Sinatra and show tunes to Baby Boomer standards like ‘Let It Be,’” said WRN GM Kurt Luchs. “But the key to the format is to keep it fresh by adding current versions of perennial tunes by hit-makers like Diana Krall and Michael Buble.”
