The relative lack of that does give Edmonton's station a slight bump, since they do appeal more to people born after 1970.
That's what gets me about these types of formats. I'll listen and think, "Ohhh, there is a great song I haven't heard in years" then they will proceed to play that song regularly for months. Why? I'm sure there are probably tens of thousands of "great songs I haven't heard for years" yet there seems to be a specific subset that gets regular rotation which changes very slowly.

And it isn't like I listen to the radio all day at work. Generally it is my clock radio, drive to work, lunch, drive home, then if I'm driving anywhere.

There is a lot of great music and more new being made every day. Why does radio sound like somebody's 2GB iPod Nano set to repeat?
