Does it matter with background instrumentals? Do people really "listen"
to the music, or is it just -there-?

I actually found KBAY to be a foreground station. It played original
popular hits as well as selected covers. It dipped into KKSF territory
with pop jazz pieces. It even played an occasional show tune. It was
borderline eclectic.

Apparently, people listened closely enough for the station to do well
for its advertisers, many of whom had been with the station for years
and years. It was always sold out.

The station was frequently characterized by people who never bothered to
listen to it as "elevator music". It would have had to have been some
pretty hip elevator.
