The thoroughly average alternative station

If I was asked to give an example of a generic alternative station, KITS in San Francisco would fill the bill nicely. Here's a sample hour:

Mr. Brightside -- The Killers
Lightning Crashes -- Live
Sex on Fire -- Kings of Leon
Drive -- Incubus
Otherside -- Red Hot Chili Peppers
Hey You -- 311
Paralyzer -- Finger Eleven
About A Girl -- Nirvana
Personal Jesus -- Depeche Mode
Kids -- MGMT
In hte End -- Linkin Park
Viva La Vida -- Coldplay
Beverly Hills -- Weezer
Santeria -- Sublime
Grapevine Fires -- Death Cab For Cutie

Don't get me wrong. This station would definitely be on my presets if I lived in hte area, but everything on that list has been played to death, It's a shame that one of the stations that used to be one of the leaders is now a follower, playing what KROQ was playing last month and the greatest hits of alternative rock. A real mayonaise on white bread sandwich. No specialty programs to spice it up. I will say however, that KITS is not going to be mistaken for an active rock station. It has a distinct if not distinctive programming personality. I just wish the station had a little more personality.
