Well, we checked the new format this weekend.  (FWIW, the only pre-sets 
in my car are WUGA, WABE for when I'm in Atlanta, 99X, and WUOG, but for 
some reason I can't ever pick up WUOG very well.)

Verdict:  I knew the words to every song we heard, all the way from our 
house to T-Stand and back home again.  I *like* radio where I don't have 
to actually listen but can still sing along.  I also like new radio 
stations with no advertising because then there are no ads.  (The Bridge 
was like that.)

There are a zillion different micro-definitions of "classic rock"; the 
one that ex-Bulldog uses is okay by me.  It's pre-set now.

-kate, does this make me a geezer?
