No format clocks is a format in and of itself. You promoted it (sold it) as
freewheeling (Playing the part of being a leader). The listeners bought it
and liked it. I'm not surprised you were successful and widely accepted.

True for Satellite but part of a PDs research when going into another
terrestrial radio market. Regionals are few and far between. I agree they
shouldn't be ignored. If there's a question then don't play it. You can't
get hurt by what you don't play.
