You really can't compare a non-comm AAA like WXPN/WXPH/WKHS to a
commercial outlet.  In my experience, the non-comms are programmed to
maximize TSL, so they generally have more freedom to play stuff that's
borderline out-of-format.  Commercial AAA playlists are much tighter
and unlikely to include anything by Gordon Lightfoot.
