USRN Adds ''The Forgotten 45s'' to Weekend Lineup


United Stations Radio Networks (USRN) has announced that the company will distribute a new weekend show geared to Oldies and Classic Hits outlets called "The Forgotten 45's." The program, produced and hosted by Bobby Bitman, marks an expansion of the network's lineup of offerings for Classic Hits/Oldies stations. The new program will begin airing nationally on the weekend of February 15-16.

The Forgotten 45's provides radio stations with two-hours per week of what are often referred to as "oh, wow" songs, and the music programmed for the show might include tracks from superstars such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Supremes and The Beach Boys along with a long list of hits and novelties from other artists of that era including many notable "one hit wonders."

Though only in his sixth decade, Bobby Bitman is well into his fifth decade in the broadcast industry. Bitman has worked on the air in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Tampa Bay Area and the Monterey Bay Area. After several years of hosting "The Forgotten 45s" online where it developed a large and passionate following, Bitman is now bringing those great oldies back to the airwaves.
