I'm not 100% on the notion that the "fans" have anything to do with
'MMS and their musical, uh, music format.
It's greed, pure and simple. Too much time spent looking at bar
graphs, crunching numbers and trying to figure out what programming
will bring them the largest number of listeners.
Quite frankly, I hope they flop on their over-marketed, under-inspired,
insipid asses.
Like we needed yet another "classic" rock station. Spare me.
Oh, and as for The End - you gotta give them a little credit. They
continue to play different stuff. Even when WMMS was so-called
alternative, they still played the same crap over and over and
over again. . .
It was almost enough to make me stop liking new music! ;-)
