"Clear Channel says other music hosts will be added to The Brew lineup in the coming weeks."

If they're serious about making those hosts live and local rather than canned and tracked from corporate HQ, it may help them boost anemic post-11 AM numbers and finally get their share past their format competition. Wease is still a power in this market, but they can't keep living completely on the strength of his one show, which makes up 20% of the broadcast day, forever...

You have to admit, it's time for Classic Rock to embrace the '80s, and maybe even the '90s. You can't go on playing 40 year old music forever. Of course, I fully expect a major dose of "Premium Choice" on "The Brew".

Naah JPB, it's dog food...choice cuts of pink slime blended together to make a tantalizing treat for your Terrier!

it's going back to the definition what's classic rock? ...are songs 20 years or older and because the general population it's getting old too. Classic rock for the new generation, not your grandpa radio.

By the way, there are no canned hosts at CC corporate HQ.  That's how NPR works.  Centralized radio from DC.

CC uses actual local DJs from their 840 owned stations, and shares them with other stations.  Not isolated in some corporate office.

If they really want it to have a Rochester flavor, perhaps they should call it "The Cream"...

Better yet what about "The Johnson".  Grin
