The following is the May 13 playlist for the noon hour on Chicago's Nine FM, one of the country's new "we play anything" variety format radio stations:

 

Donnie Iris, "Ah! Leah!"

Hmmm... sounds interesting. We have a couple good stations around here now, 89.7 WTMD (Public Radio, plays a bunch of different things) and 103.1 WRNR (Commercial, independent, also eclectic, but leans more towards the "classic" stuff). WTMD is pretty new, but RNR has been around for a while. I rarely fail to get soemhting I wnat to hear form at least one of them, and have greatly expanded my collection of new artists due to thier playlists. Good stuff!!

We've got one of those in L.A. now. 93.1 Jack FM. They don't take requests and play a pretty wide array of music. It's become my default station. No DJ's, either. Just a bunch of songs, some commercials, then more songs. No traffic, no news, no weather. I'm digging it.

 

C'mon, it's not every day I can listen to "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N Roses followed up with "Policy of Truth" by Depeche Mode

We have a new station in Memphis similar to the above. 98.1 The Max. Finally got away from the Clear Channel setlist.
