Great/ My Favorite Hard rock radio station

It has been a good rock station back in the early 80s, when I spent some in NM at that time, when KZRR was probably locally owned. It's owned by Cheap Channel these days.
 
105.1 The Blaze KKBZ Fresno
Classic Rock 70s to today with a Metal Edge.
 
Hair pop metal and old school hard rock (which I am a fan of both) is a format that I think is largely overlooked. I know some critics like to dismiss the genre but the fact remains it has endured more than most other forms of rock. VH 1 Classic basically stays in existence because people still like seeing hair metal videos, hearing from old school hard rock artists, etc. I really think that format where you play nothing but the old school stuff and maybe throw in new songs by the older bands who rarely get airplay these days is one of the few formats not really tested in recent years. I think there is an auidence for it. It probably wouldn't be massive but you could get decent ratings and attract an auidence that has turned away from radio. I am talking about the the 30-45 year old. That age group doesn't completely care about a lot of the 70's classic rock (the 80's and early 90's is their era), yet are too old to care about the newer hard rock bands.

The Big Red Radio -- 98 KU PD

I'll second that!! Actually I remember it more like 98 K-UUUUUUU-PD "Arizona's REAL Rock". :) KHTQ and WJJO are also amazing stations that are programmed perfectly for the active rock fan.
 
I 3rd it.... Stations need more hair/metal from 80s ... and more harder active rock from today.
Programming should be

60% New Rock or 6-7 new songs per hour that is top 30 active rock
20% Recurrents from 6 months-2 years back
20% 80s-00s anything from Hairbands,Metal,Grunge but make the library open to anything that was big, not the same songs or bands over and over and over again. Shouldn't hear the same Song more than 1 time every 2 days that is over 2 years old.
