Standards Demise
It was decided that once advertising grew enough to support Standards that they would drop the weekend brokered shows that were still the main source of revenue for WNSW. This never happened. The station was unable to sell even a moderate amount of commercial time but held on to the format during daytime in the week and Saturdays. Brokered shows were the only source of substantial income for WNSW but it was not enough to keep the station profitable after a while. In 2000 the station moved toward a Big Band lean and dropped the Neil Diamond and Elvis cuts.
Finally on February 28, 2001 WNSW would drop the format altogether with the playing of Frank Sinatra's Softly As I Leave You. The format would, however, continue with a few evening hours with Danny Stiles. The rest of the day would revert to brokered programming full-time again.

Famous quotes containing the word standards:
“There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.”
—H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)
