I'm hearing the vocal version of "Rock Steady" by The Whisperers on MAX 98.3 FM now!

You mean The Whispers.  As for me, I heard Eminence Front twice today on the NBA Playoffs broadcast of the Denver Nuggets and LA Lakers on ABC.

I heard BB King's The Thrill is Gone played in the background on WMNF 88.5 FM, and then I heard Billy Preston's Outa Space also on 88.5.

I miss the 90s when Nick showed cartoons like Inspector Gadget, Muppet Babies, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Garfield and Friends.

Me too. Same with USA and TBS. I watch old promos on YT and RetroJunk just about want to cry. TV was so much better back then.

Yes, even looking up some of the old production logos on Youtube brings back memories, like DIC, the Program Exchange, LBS Communications, Ruby-Spears, Worldvision Enterprises, and Viacom.

Here's what i got so far

April/May 2012 Playlist 1

April/May 2012 Playlist 2

April/May 2012 Playlist 3

April/May 2012 Playlist 4

The best song might be Widespread Panic, who were used during the golden age of TWC. But an instrumental should have been used, if there was one available.

I wish we can get as many people at once to complain. However, Melissa is useless for this situation. I believe only the head of programming is responsible for this change. Second, where's the Ryan Farish and Chris Geith? 

This has gotten beyond ridiculous. They are so arrogrant and borderline reckless in their attempt to shun jazz, and play this top-40 stuff and rock music. They really don't care anymore. It wouldn't surprise me to hear Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber added. I mean from 2009 to 2011, they had enough this pop/country/rock in the morning, primetime and a little bit overnight. Just one little daypart for jazz in the daytime, even though it wasn't quite enough, it was satisfying. But TWC obviously thought the all-rock lineup in 09, and the vocals from WUWA were such successes, they decided to bring them back and combine the two.

"Green Onions" by Booker T & The McGs was featured on a Stacy's Pita Chips commercial.

I heard that too.
