Some say that's eclectic. It is not. It's ALL pop music. We are just one of a number of great independent rockin' pop radio shows pullin' off compelling programming with this enthusiastic and invincible POV.
Good luck getting all that from iHeart.
On behalf of all of our fellow true believers: This is who we are. This is what we do.
