here in the raleigh-durham area of north carolina, you can catch the occasional house classic on the most popular station in the area, a commercial r&b/hiphop station, during the live "drive-time" mixes that air on thursday and friday rush hour...pretty funny to hear the latest lil jon crap mixed into "no way back"..it is occasional, but it makes me think that there is a large audience that would be moderately receptive to more dance music (especially with vox) if it hit the commercial airwaves. and then there are the college stations from duke, unc (the first station in the world to simulcast on the internet, toot toot), and nc state, which play all sorts of good stuff, they're all fairly popular too. radio ain't dead yet, thanks to college radio, and the more respectable hiphop/r&b stations which acknowledge their connection to other dance music and dance music history. you wont ever hear a set of deep techno, but you will hear some good stuff, and people's ears are pretty healthily fed around here....
big up clinically inclined!
