Pittsburgh has got to be the worst city for radio stations. Are there cities out there with more than 3 stations worth even flipping past?

A lot of the radio stations sound similar as you transverse across the country, but it all is up to what the owners want to play, based around research that indicates the best potential for listeners for the greatest amount of revenues. But you may find a greater variety of particular stations dependent on where you go -- if you are in the south, you could find a bigger concentration of urban/hip-hop/r&b stations than you would in a northern city. If you are in a rural part of the country, you could find a better concentration of country-related formats. Regardless you are more than likely to find a modern rock station playing Three Days Grace and Slipknot; a top 40 station belting out the latest Lady Gaga and B.O.B. tune; a classic rock station with Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix; and a country station playing the latest Brad Paisley or a classic from Garth Brooks. Just how the stations play are all determined on the makeup of that station's demographics -- age, gender, race and social status [more seen when it comes to Classical or Jazz]

Radio has been pretty much destroyed by corporate greed. In my day, we had REAL A.O.R. (album oriented rock) stations that played deep cuts from artists you had probably never even heard of.

The closest thing to that anymore is the independent college stations that can usually only be heard on-line.

Nowadays, popular music is mostly tripe that radio executives cram down our throats in the name of making a buck.

We don't have a radio station in our town. We are only just 'coming up in the world' with a theatre, Montana's, Home Depot, WalMart and a few other things.

I live in a small town but we got a few good radio stations here. There's one that plays classic rock and then there's two that play country and another one that plays classic rock and soft rock I think.
