Club BEN vs. Dash 2 (Those who have heard them, please read)

I listened to WPOW's Dash 2 this afternoon and I found it to be rather sucky. Does anyone want to hear 8 minute dubs on the radio? (We're talking five or six minutes of beats with a couple minutes of vocals but not actual verses.)

Does WRDW's Dash 2 sound the same? I'd rather it be radio edits of club mixes as opposed to the full-length club versions. They could mix them too but that seems like an awful lot of work!

How's Club BEN sound? I saw someone complained about it having a lot of 90's rhythmic stuff which isn't a very good complaint, I'm afraid. Late 80's to mid 90's Rhythmic is perfect for reaching the money demo.

Can anyone post a sample playlist from either of these stations? I don't have an HD radio, though I'm considering making a purchase. The idea of having two real Jazz stations at my fingertips 24 hours a day is awful tempting.

I don't know what radios to look for since I drive a 2004 Ford Focus ZX5. I have never shopped for a replacement stereo that wasn't the "regular" size and this Focus seems to have a double-DIN stereo? I have no idea! I don't want to get a single-DIN and need a kit. But then again, I'm not sure my current stereo actually is double-DIN. I'm having the worst time finding out! LOL. (Your opinions on that would be appreciated too, as a matter of fact!)

Alot of the music is similar, with Power's having an 'edge' on newer music, WRDW lagging somewhat on the product, playing stuff that Power's played some months ago...But there is new product on Wired that I never heard on Power, either...As for radio edits vs. club mixes, you're getting into a territory I can't help you with, I haven't really gotten into that detail.

You're probably thinking along the lines of Freestyle, or LaBouche-type music?? The 'good stuff' from the era?? That's the problem, it's not the 'good stuff' from the era. Again, the music is not really late 80s, and alot of it, again, is the *bad* 90s product...Cher, for example, and remakes of songs that were originally not dance songs...In other words, music that is not familiar. I have a 4 hour DAT I have to go through to get you a sample playlist.
