Rock stations are on my pre-sets #4 and so forth. With WNYC giving up the CM format (most of the day) rock stations will likely start at pre-set #3. I also have tapes and CDs ready to fire-up, when and *only* when there isn't anything in the least pleasing on FM. >But usually there's something on 1 or 2, both CM, that's worth hearing >out.

Ditto. Since I usually don't tune in at the beginning announcement or remain in the car long enough to hear the end identification, I go to the station's web-site playlist to find out whose version I've heard, this it serves as a self-examination and only adds to my desire to have CM on FM!
