    Radio question....

    They did a major computerized countdown and then it was different style music and called the spot. What spot?!? Where is my old station?

    They are now the classic pop station. I dropped them as soon as I heard the news.

    I'm surprised they lasted as a top 40 for as long as they did.

    I kept thinking this was a New Years prank. Like hella early April fools day or something and it would all go back to normal with Ivan and Pepper 'gotcha'!

    I like it! But I'm old. Was waiting for this radio discussion. I did like their previous format but hated their djs.

    It's a fair comment. I'm not even sure if the radio in my car even works.

    Same thing I was wondering yesterday. I put on 95.7 and I was met by Foreigner's "Waiting for a girl like you" :eek:

    Like that song though. :D
