What a sad, sad downfall for what was once the greatest Oldies station in America (sorry WCBS).

I could not agree more. I don't know what's more depressing - hearing so many OLDIES on 93.3, or hearing 94.5 trying to sound hip by adding stuff like Violent Femmes into regular rotation.

Why do we need a half-dozen stations playing 90's music? 94.5 used to be the gold standard in this town. My, how they've fallen.

"Fallen" is a subjective judgement. They've changed. They're not playing the exact same 50 year old songs they once played They're moving the ball forward, and taking in some new fans, who maybe never thought they'd listen to a station they perceived as their father's radio station. But that's what happens when time marches on. One day, you wake up, look in the mirror, and you've become your dad. How do you think THEY feel? Just be thankful that you have a station that's still willing to play those 50 year old songs and not charge you for it.

Because people who grew up in the 90's are now one of the main demos for the stations?

Not exactly. If I look in the mirror I am wondering who that old fart looking back at me is. My side of the mirror is still 17 years old (well, except for a bit of blurry vision and that back thing so I can't bend over to tie my shoes).

Except the Femmes are early 80s, and far from hip....so they kinda fit with their whole 80s theme. However I can't say I've noticed that play outside of weekends
