Not to mention, classic country doesn't sell very well, or even show up in 
ratings very well.  In Rochester NY a few years back, an attempt was made at 
having a full time classic country radio station, and from the stories I've 
heard it was only a matter of months and maybe 2 books at the most before 
the station had to change format because it had no ratings to speak of, and 
its spot sales weren't much better.
