Ah, yes, good ol' Junk in the Box!
Newcomer here to the discussion of KAZG. Personally, I wish they would go back to playing more music and get rid of the talk shows, but that's just my opinion. When I'm at home, I seldom listen to the radio, but in the car, I listen to a wide variety of music while at the same time, trying to dodge commercials and the 1,846,287th playing of "Hotel California." My car radio buttons are set on KTAR-FM for news in the morning, "Real Country" 96.3, KDKB, KUPD (although I may get rid of that one--too many songs with "cookie-monster" vocals and guitarists who wouldn't know a riff if they tripped over one--one chord strummed endlessly while setting the distortion to MAX does not a riff make), KOOL-FM, KSLX, KRDE (who's bright idea was it to move KWSS to 93.9 and goof up KRDE's signal?), "Eva 95," and when I'm south of Camelback, KCDX. On AM, KOY, KAZG and a couple of sports stations. But now that Jim Rome is gone, I don't listen to KGME, and the only time I listen to KTAR-AM is if the D-backs are playing my beloved Dodgers and even then, I usually watch the game on TV). Anyway, I have to keep flipping through my selections, and when KAZG is doing blah-blah-blah, that limits my options by one station.

I appreciate what you are saying about the talk shows. However, the reality of this is the talk shows are what produce revenue for the station. There isn't much profit in playing oldies which we find entertaining. It's the commercial breaks and the talk shows that pay the bills.
Cheers,
Sparky
