In atlanta, Maybe the RIVER. But even that station less and less so.
Well, their format is apparently "Classic *Hits*" (or at least that's what their tag line is), which indicates something a little more "pop". 


Hate to say it, but...mainstream radio gets less and less diverse.
Exactly. "Too much $ riding on it to take *any sort of risk*" has been the standard line for eons now. I guess I oughta invest in an HD receiver so I can catch everyone's second streams.
Rock 100.5, OTOH, has gotten my attention by playing a decent share of older tunes not heard in, well, eons--tunes I think lots of fans have been wanting to hear again, at least occasionally. From what I can tell, they're essentially the station people kept wanting 96rock to be. They'd be most likely to play the likes of "Aqualung". "Mr. Blue Sky" is the real orphan here, I think.
