Radio-tastrophy

All six FM1 Presets on my car radio are set to stations from home(boston). WBCN (104.1 the rock of boston), WZLX( 100.7 great classic rock), and I think also waaf, and wfnx and then two others that i forget...probably not kiss 108 or jamin 94.5 since i always freaked out when people made me listen to them. (and yes, i'm still on bcn's mailing list so if you want to know whats up in boston just ask me)

After making honnor roll and my parents freaking out after September 11th I was allowed to bring my car to DC Nov 2001. I immediately set the six FM2 stations to DC/MD stations. in this order DC101, the arrow, HFS, 104.1, 106.7, 107.3. Since that fall there have been quite a few changes. The first as you all know was HFS...but that just moved to 105.7 so I switched that preset. Next 104.1 changed to classical music but I was too lazy to switch that.

NOW the arrow no longer plays classic rock, but instead plays like 90's music. like 1 out of 10 songs are great and i get really excited, but the rest should have left the air waves years ago. While I am willing to give this station a chance, I am still really disappointed that there is no longer a classic rock station. This music is key for any long drive (including my hour to and from work).

Then I accidentally hit the button for 104.1 and instead of classical its almost the same music as 94.7....weird. I dont know what happened there. I think they keep calling themselves "george".

The only good thing about these new format changes is that they were actually playing music on my drive to work *gasp*. I guess georgie boy is going commercial free for 104 days...now if only they'd play music I want to hear in those 104 days....

So basically what i'm saying is people, I need help. Can someone recommend another station I can set as a preset that will come in while i'm both in MD and in DC since my drive every day spans both....I really need your help here.

This is completely unrelated to radio stations, but thought you'd like to know that University of Illinois female engineering students have for sale a 2007 pin-up calendar.
