Overall, 1045 is performing better than last year this time, and that is with YSP a player and MMR going a bit more Alternative (a few years ago you would never hear Coldplay on MMR or YSP), what does this mean....more alternative fans. Should YSP break away and be mostly metal instead of the same 20 rock hits over and over and over....

Woah woah woah, how is YSP fitting in Coldplay what with all the Classic/80 rock hits they're spinning?

Musically, what YSP was doing toward the middle of their days as a talk station was what they should be doing now- ACTIVE with a touch of alternative, though I imagine they were top quality pre-Free. I do not understand how anyone can classify them as an Active rocker right now.

The Cars-Just What I Needed? No.
Tom Petty- Don't Do Me Like That? No.
Pink Floyd- Have A Cigar? No.
Motley Crue- Home Sweet Home
The Doors- Break On Through
Led Zepplin- Misty Mountain Top
Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here
Rush- Tom Sawyer

Now if they're getting results with this, by all means keep with it, just don't call it what it isn't. You wouldn't take an establishment, have it serve Whoppers and Onion Rings and call it McDonalds.
 
i hear plenty of active on YSP. certainly it's a mix, but good rock is good rock, no matter when it came out. no one listening to the radio ever hears YSP say "active rock," and no one outside of radio cares about our inside baseball terms.

i really like RFF, but i hear the beastie boys about every 20 minutes, and a lot of their songs are more than 20 years old at this point, along with a lot of other so-called "modern rock" artists like pearl jam, nirvana, etc., etc. ...

I agree, I think they could play a lot more new stuff and a lot less of Jack Johnson's "If I Had Eyes" and The Killers' "Shadow Play" (which they seem to play at least once each hour), though a pleasantly surprising hear today was "Swallowed" by Bush, something I've only ever heard before on the stream of the old 93.7 KROCK in Pittsburgh (which was during a commercial break, so it wasn't even on air there).

I'm assuming it's one of their market-specific offerings.
