sl> Balogna!  There isn't a major market station in the country that holds a no.
sl> 1 arbitron rating by playing 'SuperSoul'.  You print, on the net, a copy of
sl> the Arbitron rating for the last rating period and prove it by me.  When you
sl> say "medium-mix" I'll bet it's real heavy on pop, and very light on soul if
sl> indeed it is # 2 in the ratings - and you may prove my above statement wrong
sl> by showing that it is indeed no. 2, but like I say, heavy on pop.  Choose  
sl> any major market in the nation and I guarantee the top 3 slots will be held by
sl> either rock/pop, country & western or newsradio format stations.  

OK. I choose New York City. Not being a resident, but a frequent traveler 
through, I tended to listen to top-40 stations. During the early 70's , it WABC.
At the beginning of the 80's, wasn't WBLS #1? What was their format when they
reached that spot? Granted, they are no longer the 100% soul station they were
at the beginning of the Frankie Crokcer era, but had they already gone pop?

Not trying to be argumentative, just genuinely curious...
