Sorry to all you folks who like the Motown thing But 92 XTREME was > needed first of all, KC and the Sunshine Band, Donna Summer, The Gap Band and the like are hardly what anyone would call "Motown." more like '70s top 40. furthermore, "needed" is strictly a matter of opinion. i say 92.3 The Beat is needed, you say 92 Extreme is needed. there are plenty of other styles of music not played on Cleveland airwaves. none are more important than the other. it's all a matter of numbers, not what's "needed". the format change of this station further continues my resentment for current mainstream music and the sad state of commercial radio. i will continue to seek out music that suits my tastes and not the tastes of some faceless program manager whose pockets are lined by the major record labels, all of whom don't give a shit about what kind of music i need but rather how much money they need (want). yippee, they're now playing Primus. but in a few months i'm willing to bet you'll be begging them to stop playing the same one or two songs by them over and over again. we'll see what's "needed" then. beth -- � This space available.
