I would kill to have a station like that here in Maryland. Nothing makes this more evident than the Texas music they promote. They feel lucky to hear a Chris Stapleton song every once in a while, and cant imagine a station that regularly plays Sturgill Simpson and the Turnpike Troubadours. NO DIVERSITY ! Corncaster Ironic that they are complaining about Miranda Lambert.

Except they would play some older country song Murder on Music Row and make a comment in praise of the songs message right after, and then they would play that very same Thomas Rhett song right in between Aaron Watsons Freight Train and Luke Bells Where Ya Been.

Any spots that are going to classic rock sucks, in my opinion. Its the best station and they stay very true to who they are. I can get the new alternative songs anywhere.
