    Their webstream is apparently only able to be heard in certain areas. I’m in Virginia and I can’t listen because “this station is not streaming to your geographic area at the moment.”

    • Eric Jon Magnusonsays:

      I’m in D.C. and also am geo-blocked. However, if you hit “Continue”, you can still see the active playlist; after “Sweet Emotion”, it’s been…

      “Remember When” – Alan Jackson
      “Stayin’ Alive” – Bee Gees
      “Levon” – Elton John
      “How Much I Feel” – Ambrosia
      “Who’ll Stop The Rain” – CCR

  2. TacticalThundersays:

    Well, so far, I’m not too Wowed. The Drive out of Tucson has caught most of my attention lately. We’ll see what happens.

  3. cardioloversays:

    I’m impressed somewhat. I’ve heard several songs I haven’t heard in years. And they don’t play the same ole stuff the other stations play over and over. I live in Peoria, AZ.
