I'll have to check it out later today.

A recipe for an awfully narrow playlist. Why not play '80s and 2000s music that also tests well with listeners in the target demographic?

Maybe. But it might play some deeper tracks from the decade. What I'm curious about is if KDAO-FM is including rap material in its 90's mix. Rap, after all, was very high (along with R&B ballads) on Billboard's national charts during most of that decade. (For the record, my guess is in the negative--the station serves an audience of [mostly] conservative white farmers who, even if they purchased rap music when they were younger, are most likely put off by it now.)

You might be surprised nowdays. It's 2026.

That being said, if there is any it will be just a few token very top of the charts familiar tracks. Mostly R&B probably. This will be, for the most part, a pop-rock station.
