Clear Channel Playoffs Round 2 -- KCNL v. KRAB

Happy Father's Day! Onto round 2 and the competition gets tougher 8 stations received byes to go onto the second round, based upon factors such as (a) link to the active rock "Top 20 on Demand" despite reporting as an alternative rock station (b) omission from Wikipedia's list of modern rock stations (c) excess display of cleavage on their website (which as a red-blooded heterosexual male I don't mind personally but is a sure sign a station could care less about the female demographic)
(d) other signs on website (i.e. the current week's Playlist, concerts being promoted etc. that the station's heart really isn't into being an alternative rock station. I added an Orlando Florida station that reports active rock but plays considerable alternative rock when I looked at a "Last 10 songs played" The first matchup is KCNL (San Jose) against KRAB (Bakersfield) Yes, it's the battle for California!
