I'd think there'd be room on a crowded dial to try that, at least in the
oldies format. After all, our generation (actually, anyone who was a teen
from the early 60s to the mid-to-late-70s) did listen in huge numbers to
this stuff, with the full top-40 range.

I can understand the fear that the children of the 90s, raised on
fragmented and targeted radio, would never listen in numbers to a station
with a broad-format playlist. (I even tend to agree with it, though sadly.)
But is there ANY reason to believe that we reared on broad-based Top 40
have had the range we like to listen to shrink, any reason to believe our
preferences changed over the last 20-35 years?
