It's still on their website, but almost certainly with far fewer stations. I used to enjoy it when it was called AM Only and was a true Nostalgia format. Now it's Soft AC Oldies and it's not the same. They say they want to reach the audience between the two formats, which means they end up pleasing neither audience. Same applies to ABC's Startdust and Memories formats.
<blockquote>Adult Standards is one of Westwood One’s most successful formats reaching the upscale 35-64 demo with a blend of the top-testing gold standards by the world’s best artists like Neil Diamond, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, The Carpenters, Johnny Mathis, and Simon & Garfunkel Recently updated and evolved, Adult Standards creates new opportunities to reach the audience between Nostalgia and Soft AC stations. This huge “Baby Boomer” demo will find this great Westwood One format just right with researched hits from the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s plus selected recent favorites from the eighties featuring artists like Barry Manilow, Celine Dion, James Taylor and Elton John.
Hosted By: Jeff Rollins, Chick Watkins, Ed Brand, Mark Haden, Don Reid, Casey Hayes, Bill Jones and Nick Gerard. </blockquote>
