What Kind of AAA Station Do You Have Part II

Yesterday we did a little test to explore which AAA stations lean alternative and which don't -- we counted up the number of songs on each station's playlist that appear on any of the Alternative charts appearing in Billboard/Radio-Info.com. Today will be the mirror image of yesterday -- another raw number count this time focusing on songs on the current playlists (measured last December) that appear on the AAA charts but not on any of the alternative charts. Yesterday's chart tended to give higher "alternative" stations with large playlists. This one tends to penalize -- if that's the right word -- them. Today under 10 will indicate an alternative leaner 10-19 will indicate a neutral and 20 and over will indicate a "soft" alternative station.

Intersting some stations results were consistent -- WRXP, CKPK for example. However WAPS, a station urn by the Akron. OH school district, went from one end of the chart. More tommorow.
