Very true. Heard them 1-2 times and it feels like they (along with the Peak in St. Louis and Louie in Louisville) have a better flow plus their jocks are a nice compliment to their music (instead of trying to over-shadow the music product). They are clean, easy to use stations.
The Arch is doing a great job, in ratings and (apparently) revenue.
