WSBG was the best listening for me before they went lite.
That was the time when there was no "Bone" yet, so it was a few years ago.
What were they playing? If I remember correctly, it was like a mix between the classics "Hawk", and some current hits.
To me this was great because it kept me "up to date" with music happening at the moment AND also great songs from the past.
I liked the station so much that it was my number one station I listened to, and I live in the Lehigh Valley. I preferred it over 100.7.
Everything today has labels, I don't know what that type of mix was back then, but it was a great station to listen to being a middle aged listener.
I guess radio thinks that people in my category want to hear classics, and like was said, the same 250 songs repeated ad nauseum. This is not the case for my listening taste. I like to hear some new material placed in the mix, as long as it is not too over the edge and out there.
Maybe new material like that doesn't exist anymore, I don't know.
More likely, it is radio's way of classifying every age group with a listening template, which I absolutely abhor.
And if it HAS to be that way, why the same songs day in and day out?
I get a kick that smooth jazz stations are becoming dinosaurs. Heck, even devoted lovers of the format couldn't stand the same 100 tunes over and over and over. With a format like that and that type of music, you would think the playlist would be endless.
If it didn't happen with smooth jazz, it won't happen with any other format.
That is why the internet is the best way to listen to music today.
But now I am getting off topic...
