I grew up in those days also.I remember WRKO,WLLH,WFEA were all CHR in the
mid to late 70's and I bounced back and forth among those
stations.Yes,Roger Whittaker's "The Last Farewell","Rock and Roll All
Night" by Kiss, "Nadia's Theme" by Perry Botkin Jr/Barry DeVorzon among
others,all on the same playlist.I enjoyed it then and it seemed to
work.These days,with so much fragmentation(Modern
AC,Urban/Rap,Alternative,etc) no such monster exists.No station seems to be
a true CHR the way it was 20+ years ago.Could it work today??? I would like
to see it work,but I would sense it probably wouldn't fly.
