Since this has turned into an all around radio rant thread...
If I can make one suggestion that applies to ALL FM stations...
Expand the playlist. Play more songs, lots of songs. I don't want to hear the same song twice in a week. OK, fine, make an exception for songs released in the last couple of months. Play them once a day, fine. But don't roll the same 100 songs by the same 50 bands over and over. Play album tracks, not always the singles. Play some hot new tracks by up and coming bands, play classic songs that never quite achieved classic status.
Essentially, I want a radio station that opens my ears to new music. Not a radio station that sounds like my iPod on shuffle mixed with bands that I know I'll never buy their record.
Case in point, clicking randomly through X92.9s "Now Playing" tracks for the day, they played "Cage the Elephant" 5 times since 8:00 AM this morning....FUUUUUUUUUUUuuu
