It's 75% top 40-recurrent/25% oldies. There are only 4 stations in the municipality. We're the little guys...the underdog. I wouldn't work for corporate radio ever again...unless I was starving. My little feature rolls around 12:15-ish after the noon news Monday-Friday. It goes about 12:08ish after the noon news on the weekend. I haven't worked classic rock since 2005...and I played loads of lps cuts...maybe 50-55%. Free Form and Rock FM weren't about many of the hits ever. Why it is now is just corporate bull-shit programmed by heartless/souless idiots with a mouthfull of samples.
