To what extent did WOMC preserve older pop and rock music on radio?

From a signal chain perspective, WOMC’s approach was like a well-tuned broadcast chain-they kept a solid, uncluttered path for older pop and rock by maintaining a tight playlist that mostly stuck to 1960s through 1980s hits, with just a dab of 1990s tracks. Their transmitter output focused on classic gold and oldies, avoiding newer rock or pop crossovers, so the modulation didn’t get muddy with unfamiliar material. That preserved the core catalog pretty faithfully, though the compression they used sometimes flattened the dynamic range of those original recordings, which is a trade-off for staying on the air without digital artifacts.
