Don't look now, but that's how networks work. ABC, CBS, NBS, even FAUX provide
news, wide-ranging (snork) programming, some entertainment (guffaw) and the
local affiliates fill it in with local programming.

I have never had a problem finding listenable music on the FM whilst in the
right coast area. Even back in the 80s and 90s.

I haven't heard any claims that a station is a "Clean(r) Channel" station for
dogs years. I thought they went tits-up before the turn of the century. Either
that or quit bragging and are keeping a low profile whilst raking in the dosh.

 RH> No MP3 jack in mine, but then I don't own an MP3 player anyway.

Mine is built right into the radio. All it takes (when built that way from the
get-go) is another chip to decode the MP3s in the firmware of the CD player.
160 or so tracks will take one quite a ways down the road.
I own an XM satellite receiver - and the radio has an AUX jack. But, I see no
point in schlepping Sirius/XM thirteen pazzuzas a month when I can burn my own
mix of music into a 20c CD.
