Especially a big area like the Bay Area. Not having a CHR/POP is pretty strange. I grew up in a place that still has a mostly Male audiance for the CHR stations and the AC's take most of the females. Obviously there are no rock and alternative stations to take them but people adapt.
It was always good to go to work and say what do you think of a particualr song and eveyone has heard it. The polorized niche formats we have today killed all of that.
CHR/POP used to be the catch all, when people were in the mood for a beat and upbeat music. All Jack is CHR of yesteryear. It does well in most markets since its target demo grew up on CHR or Top 40 as it was known.

Re: Every area should have the basics
You make "Top 40" sound like it belongs in a museum.

Top 40 dominates in most other markets. KIIS is #1 in LA, KRBE #5 in Houston and KHKS, so on...
Citing 5 or 6 different station and saying all of these together are a CHR doesn't cut it.
SF should have a hit music station. Leaning rhythmic with emphasis on the pop hits--Kelly Clarkson, Akon, Usher, Destiny's Child, Killers, Will Smith, Black Eyed Peas, Yin Yang Twins.
You may see this list and say "yuck," but then again you'd probably not fit the target demo for this format.
This is what young females want to hear. Playing to them makes these stations highly profitable and successful.
