It can get a bit tiresome reading complaints that there isn't a good source for music from the sweet spot of Top 40. I have found a satisfying outlet for this music, very applealingly presented:

There is an excellent rotation, though it is a bit heavy on the Philly Sound - which is natural, considering the source. But, just when it seems the offerings are a little too familiar, up pops a great song that you never thought you would hear again. Countering the Philly Sound, a Beatles song turns up just after the top of the hour.
One of the best things is how TIGHT it is: Pre-recorded breaks, classic jingles from all over the country, day-parted well. It is as close as I've heard to the presentation of Famous 56 WFIL without having the genius of their perfect live walk-ups. It all MOVES.
Aside from Hy Lit's WIBG jingles, you hear a huge selection of WFIL jingles, some of which didn't actually air, as far as I know.
I wasn't a Hy Lit fan in the late 60s, but I sure am a fan of what he started & his son, Sam, continues.
