I'm 43 years old - apparently too old to count as a real listener by today's corporate radio standards because I no longer buy stuff. I wish it was true that I no longer "buy stuff" - I would have lots more money. Once was a time I was changing my radio presets at least once a week, because there were so many great stations, I couldn't make up my mind on what stations to assign to 12 FM presets - 6 on FM1, 6 on FM2. The method I finally started using was assigning presets to weaker stations - those that would fail to lock during a scan - and just scan up/down to nearby strong stations that would lock. Now, I can barely find enough stations to fill up 6 presets, so I think I'm just going to assign the same 6 stations to both FM1 and FM2. By the way, the few presets I now have are no longer assigned to ANY station owned by big corporate - which was NOT the case until Lite 102.9, K104.7, My102.5 and other AC stations felt they had to "young-up" the format. The only stations for which I now have presets are locally or regionally owned. If radio was the ONLY driving force in where I would choose to live, I would choose a smaller to medium-sized radio market where most of the stations are locally-owned - the stations would sound oh so much better.
That's my minor rant - you may now resume your regular "younged-up" programming.
