There's an amusing entry at the New York Radio Board:
competing A/C signal and NYC ratings leader WLTW has
embedded the phrase "Music Women Love" into their website
so if you enter "music women love" at Google, WLTW pops up
as your first choice.  However, the revamped WNEW is
using that slogan on-the-air. I wonder if the 
"Queer Eye" crew set any pushbuttons for WNEW when they
do makeovers for guys who need to get in touch with
their feminine sides?
