Do any mainstream AC stations play Brenda Russell's "Piano in the Dark" anymore?

Do any mainstream AC stations play Brenda Russell's "Piano in the Dark" anymore?

I have always loved this song and was wondering. I know it used to be played somewhat on Smooth Jazz stations, but mainstream AC? Does anyone know?

KTWV in Los Angeles and KIFM in San Diego play it.

This song gets played once in a blue moon in Chicago. If it does get played, I'm more likely to hear it on Urban AC station V103 (WVAZ) Oak Park/Chicago or Soul 106.3 (WSRB) Lansing, IL than on WLIT or WILV. Even Oleta Adams & Anita Baker (used to be heard a lot on AC radio in the 80's & 90's) aren't heard as much on AC radio.

KTWV is smooth AC, not mainstream AC. KIFM is a soft mainstream AC that evolved from smooth AC.

That said, I could see a station like WLYF in Miami or KOST in L.A. playing this one.

This song would definitely fit into WLYF and WFEZ's playlist. Miami is so lucky when it comes to the AC format.

I often listen to WFEZ and agree that this song would fit well there. (I don't listen to WLYF, though, so I wouldn't know about that one.) However, WFEZ is a Soft AC - not Mainstream AC.
