That sounds like Arrow's play list. Journey, REO, Boston, Steppenwolf. Not to mension The Cure. The freaking Cure. Not that I don't love the Cure, but it is neither classic nor rock! I mean, they used to play those kinds of bands occasionally, in between the Zep, Floyd, Beattles, and Hendrix. But by the end, there was a better chance of hearing "Just like a white winged dove" than actual rock on Arrow at any point. I haven't listened to them in about a year, I think. Good riddance.

The new station is a standard in-between solution. They make themselves sound cool and edgy by saying, "We play whatever we want" when all they are really doing is playing a huge variety and seeing how many emails they get about each genre. Once they figure out who's listening, they'll zero in on that. I'm impressed that 103.1 broke that mold, but that's the rare exception. I have no high hopes about this one. Plus, even if they do break the mold and keep playing "what they want", I quite dislike what they've been playing, so I'm clearly not their audience.
