Several websites devoted to the format and/or its music...

And Jones still offers it as one of their MODH formats; the related 
Standards format is available on either hard drive or satellite 
delivered; it used to be that they carried "Music Of Your Life", but 
there were issues - some of the air talent (like Pat Boone, Gary Owens, 
several others) hadn't been paid in a while, according to a couple of 
sources, so... JRN and MoYL parted ways.

(The stream is down; not sure how - or if - the affiliates are getting 
their programming right now since JRN pulled the plug on the bird...)
