KDYL turning back clock for fans of old-time radio

Do you miss the "old-time" radio stations, where you felt you personally knew the local DJs whose shows aired live?

Then KDYL (AM-1060) might be the station for you.

With its "real oldies" music format, this station is cranking out unique programming, using radio veterans with more than 150 years of combined radio experience, according to KDYL morning host "Steve O" (Carlson).

He said there's no satellite-fed programming. In addition, the station airs on the AM band, "where it all began, static and all."

On the high-tech side, he said KDYL is hoping to be streaming on the Internet soon, expanding the station's potential reach to worldwide.

Here's the current weekday KDYL lineup:

5-10 a.m.: "Steve-O on the Radio." Phil Mueller does local news. Sherry Bryant does traffic. Special features include saluting veterans and raising the flag at 7:30 a.m.; "Name that Real Oldie" at 8:30 a.m.; and "Dick Clark's Music Calendar" at 9:30 a.m.
