Why "list" them for your benefit, when all you have to do is tune your dial?

I think its ignorant to say that the old school Hip Hop n R&B that wamo played is considered an "exclusively to young poor ghetto culture".Little Mizz Pittsburgh you might not of liked Wamo but i no tons of people that all they listened to was Wamo and its pathetic that now theres not one good hip hop n R&B station in pgh!

I don't even know what the heck you're talking about, and at this point, in this thread, I really don't even care because whatever I said, that must've pissed you off, was said months ago and I don't remember, nor do I care to go back and look. However, I can agree with you that its quite pathetic that there is not one good hip hop and R&B station here. I know a few folks, who came in from out of town, a couple of weeks ago, who were born and raised here, and were saddened to find out that there was no more WAMO, that they could listen to, while driving.
