Hey! I have just come across this board so this is my first post. What station is this? I'm guessing it's not major market. Would love to listen online.

Looking through the sample logs, the one thing that jumps out at me is that it's a LITTLE too rocky at times. Without knowing anything about the market this station is in, I would say that My Chemical Romance 'Teenagers' sounds out of place, especially so close to Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse Of The Heart. Another one that really stands out is ZZ Top 'Legs'. It's a great song but I wouldn't really want to hear it too much

Besides that, I like it. There's a nice mix of gold and recurrents.

Nice to see a Palua Cole's "Were have all the Cowboys gone?" and Lit's "My own worst enemy" getting spins. I think both are well done songs with good beats that keep the tempo up. Naturally, you don't hear either very much on radio these days so kudos for remembering them!
