What KInd of AAA Station Do You Have?

One thing that has struck me about the Album Adult Alternative format is that there is a wide variance. Some are fairly close to the pre-2000 alternative format, before the female portion of the audience was ruthlessly weeded out and the remainder was force fed Korn. Others are on a mission to air every singer-songwriter in every coffeehouse in America. Still others are trying to sell hot AC with the Katie Perry and Pink lfet out.

So I took a semi-scientific stab at defining the differences. First I took a look at the AAA chart and compared it to the Alternative chart. They usually have several songs in common -- Right now it's Radioactive, Sick of You, The Cave, Dog Days Are Over to name a few. To those I add songs that are exclusively on the alternative chart. Then I compare it to the playlist of the AAA station, whether it's on their website, or in YES or TuneGenie. I count up the "alternative" current songs on the station's playlist. Ten and over will count an alternative leaning AAA. 5-9 will count as a neutral AAA Four and under will count as soft AAA.

So How did your station fare?
