Why does radio suck? Because most stations play only the songs the record companies pay them to. And things are going to get worse....

When I turn on the radio, I head for the stations below 92. That is where the college stations hang out. Everything below 92 is non-commercial.

College stations are pretty much your last hope for finding a diverse selection of tunes on the radio.
