It's worked for about 50 years or so... since Storz and McLendon and the
other Top 40 pioneers proved that playing only the top hits got more
audience.


but you said they were no top 40 rock stations. obtw, no one got
fired.

Oh, you missed the part where I mentioned that "rock" is a different format
(actually a collection of formats") from Top 40.

Top 40 (or CHR, it's name since the 70's) is rock, pop, ballads, r&b,
rhythmic, hip hop, etc. Rock, in varieties like AAA, Classic Rock,
Alternative, AOR, etc., is just rock of one kind or another.
