I usually listen to sports radio when driving, but I decided to mix it up a bit last night. I didn't want to listen to a bunch of irrelevant DJ blather or commercials so I flipped from channel to channel. In doing so I realized that there are at least 3 basically 80's stations in the Salt Lake valley. I like having all 3, but I wonder how long all three will survive.
1) The first is Rewind 100.7, it's been using this format for probably about two years. They mostly play 80's songs, but mix in more recent songs occasionally. I actually like that format as that led to this two song combination last night, which I thought was genius. First they played this song:
Then they followed that up with:
As of this morning, these are the last 5 songs Rewind 100.7 played:

Other songs played by Rewind 100.7:
"Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone": Glass Tiger (80s)
"Shine"- Collective Soul (90s)
"Hot or Cold"- Katy Perry (2000s) (I'm so tired of this song.)
"In Your Eyes"- Peter Gabriel (I don't think it's possible to get tired of this song or "Sledgehammer".)
Next up is KBER. They play a lot of 80's song, but those are mostly with a rock edge.
From their own list and from me listening to the radio randomly this morning after 10:00am. (Drive time radio is the worst.) The number in the parenthesis is generally the decade the music was released. If I make a mistake please forgive me. This is some of the songs they played today:
"Dude (Looks Like A Lady)": Aerosmith (80s)
"Paranoid"- Black Sabbath (70s)
"Let's Ride": Kid Rock (2000's) Never heard this song and since it's Kid Rock, I never want to hear it. It's a travesty what he did to the Skynnrd song.

"TNT"- AC/DC (70s)
"Creep"- Stone Temple Pilots (90s)
"(Oh) Pretty Woman"- Van Halen (80s)
