It's not all that new a format: XM has the Top 20 on 20, which is nothing but a continuous pop poll. And? I didn't recognize one of those songs. But then...
I can see how the TOP 40 stations have to deal with this but I'm not really for playlist radio and more repetition. With all the station now corporate owned, ...

Sure that was the radio rather then the amplified antenna system ? The higher up HD Radios are known to be very good analog receivers. I guess since they're...
Wow! I guess here in Philly if I were top purchase one of them I could very well listen to WOBM at 92.7FM out of Toms Rivers,NJ aswell as WJRZ 100.1 with no ...

I paid nothing (Christmas present), but I've seen it as low as $200 on Amazon. Street price is $250. For non "HD" fans it has a forced analog mode. A big...

I think you are referring to "Extra 104". I'm not sure of the calls, perhaps WXTR? They were licensed to LaPlata/Waldorf, MD. It was a great oldies radio...
