They've kept some of the late night preachers from the business talk days 
(contractual agreements?  need for at least some revenue?).  As far as the 
music selection...it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense at times...I heard 
a Tony Bennett twin spin a while back, and they seem to play an awful lot 
of wimpy stuff for a station that made it's rep as a rocker.  Supposedly, 
they are focusing on songs/artists that were big in Buffalo during KB's 
heyday (though GB The USA is a bit of a stretch).
