Beyond which, how many Latin stations are there in Atlanta? And how many stations like V-103? OTOH, rock listeners in Atlanta have as many as six stations to choose from, if you count the low end of the dial; no examination of the radio scene is complete without taking account of that.

...to think that any music genre, especially one like Prog,
has a chance for being a horizontal (cross format) hit, is especially thin.
What was the last Prog song to do so? Owner Of A Lonely Heart?

It's a song by a prog band, but I wouldn't call it a prog song. OTOH, the verses for Soundgarden's "Outshined" are in 7, FWIW, and a number of other grunge and post-grunge bands have recorded songs with "proggy" moves.
