The station’s format was “Beautiful Music”…a compromise, as Valentine had wanted an all Classical format, and Novik wanted a Contemporary format. Valentine did manage to get SOME Classical music on the station: for an hour a day at 7:00 p.m. weeknights, called “Tableside Concert”; as well as a couple of specialty shows on Sundays. The Beautiful Music format was not a great success, as WRVH (with its Class A signal) was up against 2 giants: WHUD in Peekskill, New York and WEZN in Bridgeport, Connecticut…both with Class B signals and both running Beautiful Music formats.
