I was just about to mention the earliest and least commercial of the decades channels.When Mom is in the car, the 40's channel comes on.
The forties on four became forties junction when they moved it to channel seventy-three a few months ago.
I did not like their doing that,
but they made it easier for those with limited cerebral cortices to stumble across Pitbull's Globalization.
Really though, the folks who grew up listening to LaVerne, Maxene, and Patty
are in their eighties and I wonder how much longer the channel will remain.
Many genres already have their dedicated channels:Now suppose they sliced and diced those 4 decades differently.
For example, Mainstream pop hits, Motown oriented hits, Country oriented hits, Rock oriented hits.
The decades are now considered mainstream pop, but add Siriusly Sinatra
R & B has Soul Town and The Groove
Country has Willie's Roadhouse, Prime Country, and Y2Kountry
Rock has Classic Vynil and Classic Rewind
also,
Alternative rock has 1st Wave and Lithium
Jazz has Real Jazz and Watercolors
The childrens category has three half-decade channels
for children born around '02, '07, and '12
