Yep. Endless focus groups to rate which songs to play. Extremely small playlists and the hosts are so annoying you want to punch them. Thank god for the internet and endless amounts of music, I never need to listen to radio anymore.

There used to be good stations, with hosts choosing the music they want to play and having a good taste -- even better if it's different from mine so I can hear something new.

All gone now...

I have this one station I like to listen to that plays a variety of stuff from local artists and the like. Very few ads too, though they occasionally go into “soliciting for memberships” mode now and then.

The one I know and love is The Summit FM in Akron Ohio. I listen to it on Radio Garden or on actual radio when I'm in the area

There's so many good songs out there across genres. It's a shame only a few give them airtime

Hah! The Summit in Akron was the EXACT station I was referring to!
