Are any AC stations playing any of Whitney Houston's most recent music?

Whitney Houston's newest CD I Look To You from 2009 is probably considered Urban AC (or possibly Rhythmic AC?). Are there any Mainstream AC or Hot AC stations that are playing either of the main hits from the album? Namely "I Look To You" and "Million Dollar Bill".

It's interesting and kinda sad how Whitney Houston's music was very much Mainstream AC from 1985 until 1997 or so but is not so anymore. I've been an AC fan for years and have absolutely loved Whitney's music. Is she too urban or rhythmic now? "Million Dollar Bill" could almost be considered a Dance or CHR hit too. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
 
My AC played "I Look To You" just a couple of times. I hadn't had a chance to listen to her CD, but my guess is that there must not be a lot of AC-friendly songs on it. "I Look To You", however, did very well on urban, urban AC and gospel.
 
Lite FM in NYC played some of her new stuff very briefly. It seemed like it was dropped from the playlist after only a few weeks. I guess after incessantly playing Whitney's '80s and early '90s hits, her new deeper voice is just too different for people to get used to... although that didn't seem to be a hurdle for Dionne Warwick's '90s re-recording of "Walk On By".
 
She hasn't done anything worth hearing since about 1985.

Fortunately, my station doesn't play anything newer than "One Moment in Time".

Her duet with Enrique Iglesias in 2000 ("Could I Have This Kiss Forever") was pretty good, and reached #8 on the AC chart.
