The River is very much AAA, and very different from what WFNX was.  WFNX
was definitely aiming at a much younger audience.  The River plays songs
all the way back from the late 60s / early 70s timeframe to today.  WFNX
never played anything as old as The River's oldest stuff.

I used to be a regular 'FNX listener, but sometime around the 2001-03
timeframe, they changed over to a bunch of younger DJs who were far
more abrasive than the "classic" 'FNX gang, and the music started getting
to be grating to my ears as well.  That was when I found The River, and
I never switched back after that.  Were 92.5 to switch to the WFNX calls,
I'd consider that to be a negative development, honestly.
