From: "Glenn Meadows" 

That's the idea.  Once people get used to the "up" tempo of the
music, the other stations sound "down", or lethargic.

Speedup of music is addictive psychologically, especially when it's done
subtly.  Some records can sound like Mickey Mouse (or the chipmunks) if
sped up even a bit.  Others, can take a huge speedup.  I've gone so far as
even moving the speed such that the key goes up a full musical step. 
That's  a large speed kick.
