It's because you are tired of the same 40 tunes that get airplay.
There is a **** ton of talent out there that does to get exposure from corporate radio.
Couple of years ago replaced the battery in the Mazda, had to reset the station presets.
Started scanning and hit this station WKXT, listener sponsored. They were playing good stuff so I set it. Kept listening and listening and listening. My wife gets in the car and she is digging it as well.
Since that first day I have not set another preset and it's also the only station set in the other cars.
Great variety of bands you know, not just the popular stuff but obscure as well plus unknown bands as well as local artists.
You have to deal with the DJ's who have that public access style and the occasional pledge drives but it's tolerable because I've discovered so much good new stuff.
They have a live stream.
Playlists to get an idea of the mix.
