First time posting.  I must say I didnt know people got this torqued over radio... anyways.

Why not, it's pretty much the only outlet that has a chance to be read by the people in radio.  A few years back when driving on weekends,  I had a choice of WJRR for rock, WOCL for alternative, and WTKS for older alternative with some newer songs mixed in.  This weekend I went for a drive, and all I had this weekend was WJRR playing the same old songs with an unfunny DJ making lame jokes.  The rest is overplayed classic rock, which would be okay if it wasn't on a ton of radio stations already, and a broader song list.

Fortunately, you'll only hear The Commodores/Brick House on Sunny ... our course you'll hear it every two hours almost as if it were the current Top 40.

same old crap, over and over......

WTKS was actually fun to listen to on weekends.  It was the only station playing older alternative, and despite what the people here think, it did have a following.  But all I read here on this board are more ways to make radio even more of a bland landscape that will just keep turning people to CD's and MP3's players.
