Don't get how WMYX succeeds

This is now Milwaukee's only hot AC outlet and it just doesn't sound very good. The songs are overplayed and none of them include older songs. This market is really messed up. There are too many old stations. What about new music mixed with the new? I have been listening to KBRK B93.7 out of Brookings, SD online and I enjoy it more than WMYX. It actually sounds a little bit like WKTI back in the 90s. Look at this playlist they have in the last hour or so:

Bangles - In My Room

Melissa Etheridge - Fearless Love

Smash Mouth - Walking On The Sun

The Wreckers - Leave The Pieces

Katy Perry - Thinking Of You

Elton John - Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me

John Secada - Just Another Day Without You

Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes

Paul Carrack - Live On A Battlefield

Pink - Just Like A Pill

One Republic - All The Right Moves

Duncan Sheik - On A High

Big Mountain - Baby I Love Your Way

Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls

Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me

John Mayer - Heartbreak Warfare

The Ramones - What I Like About You

Phil Collins - Something Happened On The Way To Heaven

Del Amitri - Roll To Me

Matchbox 20 - Downfall

Train - Hey, Soul Sister

Let’s Just Not Play This Song Anymore!
 
Sure it doesn't sound good. According to your list, they played 5 artists twice in that time frame. I understand "heavy rotation", but this is way too heavy. It's not far from praying the same song over & over.

And, what kind of station puts on Ryan Secrest in afternoon drive. I could understand mid-day or evenings. IMHO...the last thing I want to hear on my way home, is someone talking about something that happened in L.A. days ago.

Of course, this is one old school radio guy's opinion.
