I just thought of something really depressing...

Remember that powerful radio station on 94.5 in Lexington? You know, the one the guards at CPH hated because it wouldn't censor Bell Biv DeVoe's line about "gettin' paid, laid"?

Well, I'm pretty sure that sometime this year, this station will have been in more or less its current laughed-at format for just as long as it was in its previous format (17 years plus).

Damn, I'm old! But that's not what makes this so depressing.

Granted, I'm now more in the AC age group than CHR, but that shouldn't matter, since both formats have declined precipitously in quality since the 1996 Telecommunications Act.

The station you grew up with has grown old and gray.
