Final/First Listen: Classic Country 1370 KSOP Salt Lake City

For a long time, to discover a Classic Country station was to know that it probably wouldn’t be around very long. WMZQ Washington, D.C., and KFKF Kansas City had short-lived AMs during the ‘80s that were part of my education in the genre. But when Classic Country began popping up on FM a decade or two later, even ratings weren’t enough to protect a station from a sales department’s quest for younger listeners.
