[BC] Country Music plight in top towns

[Craig Bowman]

Remember in the mid 80's when being a rocker was the kiss of death.  
Many heritage AOR stations changed format.  A few months went by and a 
rim shot station put classic rock on the air and "out of nowhere" became 
a viable station.  Some "also ran" will revive the format and a big 
stick will steel it back.
