REPETITION ISSUE
The Retro Attic Of Oldies is now back on Shoutcast, which made me decide to rebuild the station from scratch. For a little while, you will be hearing the same 5 song year blocks over and over while I'm in the rebuilding process. I apologize for this, but the previous programming format I had on Icecast had no organization to it whatsoever; I would rather have my listeners hear "mini musical history lessons" for 1973, 1985, etc. instead of bouncing all over the place with each song.
Eventually, everyone should be pleased! When all is said and done, I will have a different playlist for each day of the week. The only chance of something repeating during the same day will be one of the random tracks from my Featured Artist Of The Month. Once those 7 playlists are completed, any new year blocks I put together will be added to the next day's playlist.
I know it's frustrating, but stations have to change their presentation every so often or else they will get stale. Bear with me, keep checking in periodically, and you will find that my variety of oldies will get more and more diverse!

IT'S TIME FOR A NEW STREAMING HOST PROVIDER
After 3 years, The Retro Attic says goodbye to Shoutcast and hello to Icecast! Beginning on Saturday 8/16, The Retro Attic will have a new streaming host provider. We will be spending the next few days revamping our playlists; you may hear several repeats at first, but before you know it, the variety that you've come to know from us will be back and better than ever!
One of our listeners pointed out that playing only one forgotten oldie every 45 minutes makes us lose what originally made us unique among oldies stations. With this provider change, we can announce that both sectors of our audience will be happy; we will continue to focus primarily on classic and lost top 40 hits from the 50's through the 80's, but there will now be 4 forgotten oldies played every 45 minutes! And for those who mainly love the obscure side of the charts, we will be bringing back an American Bottom 45 countdown show in the near future(visit our website or join our Facebook group to keep posted on when the first show will air).
Join us on Saturday night, 8/23 from 7 to 9 eastern as we present a block of tunes that were showcased on MTV during August of 1981. Needless to say, it will be a mix of the familiar and obscure! Feel free to contact us and make a request for the block if you know your MTV history well!
Our website is located at retroatticrareoldiesradio.com and our Facebook group can be found at http://facebook.com/groups/retroatticrareoldiesradio. Thanks go out to our past and present listeners and we look forward to seeing many new listeners in the coming weeks!
