I agree, and for me the local Radio Disney has the added resonance of
actually being the AM station I listened to in my younger days, WOLF-AM (the
station where Dick Clark got his start, I believe).
I still find it interesting to recall the variety of cool sides that
were bona fide hits on WOLF's airplay in the '70s, but which apparently were
not hits anywhere else in the U.S. How many other AM Top 40 stations were
playing Slade, or "Tonight" by The Raspberries?
