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... The Organ Keyboard of Jerryl Payne {ihnp4,esquire,harpo}!inmet!jlp
