       Twenty bleepin' five to one my gambling days are done!
I'd be surprised to hear that on any mainstream station here
for sure.

       Free-form radio:

       Ours is WRNR 103.1 out of Annapolis (I believe.)  Its about the
same for me here, i.e. if I like the theme the DJ is on I can listen for
a good while.  They can get into some weird stuff, though!

       Well, they basically play whatever they want I think.  I've
heard "Tuesday Morning" and "Fairytale of New York" along with others
but since I don't yet have the albums they are from the names have
slipped my mind.  Theoretically the DJ could sit there and let a whole
Pouges album play straight through.  This station never censors anything.
Once I was going in to work early, at about 5am, and I turned on the radio
in my  car and they were  playing Nine Inch Nails, "Closer" totally
uncensored. Maybe  they try to figure out when  the FCC people won't be
listening very carefully?    I'm afriad they won't be around long
because their signal is not very strong, but that might also be
what allows them more freedom to play whatever.
