>be switching to a country format. UGH. Just what we need. I would guess that this is bunk, because they are now playing about a six hour loop of all comedy tape. I *love* it. They just played "Wet Dream" and "Massochism Tango", two of my favorites. Hell, they even played "I bet you they won't play this song on the radio"! I know it's a promo, but they've got me hooked, continuous music for three days with NO commercials! One other reason that I think they're not going country is that one of their station identifications says, "We believe that we are complying with FCC regulations, but some of the material you've been listening to may be offensive to senior citizens. If you are a senior citizen, please tune to W4 country, which plays old time western music." Another one says "...some of our programming may be offensive to children If you are a child, please tune to WLLZ, WRIF, or WHYT, these stations play music that appeals to children." (RIF-disclaimer: I do listen to that one) >isn't cool anymore Oh come on, wasn't the Fox a typical Madonna/Vanilla Ice pablum station? I agree with the guy that said he admires whoever had the guts to do it. They've gone on to playing Julie Brown, followed by Abbott & Costello. Ecstacy!!! - Chad
