It is a stunt. They are just playing any song that has "sex" in the title or
lyric. It is supposed to suck people in and attract attention. It sure
worked on you!

Well, no...

I first heard of the change on a local CBC AM station this afternoon.
They had a good laugh at the irony of it. Pandering to the lowest common
denominator seems to be an accepted way of fattening the bottom line.

It is not a format. It is a stunt to change the perception of that dial
position from one of an evangelical station to a pop station of some kind...
coming next week.

I wonder whether when you see an inflatable elephant on top of a car dealer
you think that they sell elephants there!

It's a stunt.

No. I think the car dealer got drunk and passed out on the lot. His
salesman PUT that elephant on the car dealer's chest when he was passed out.

Salesmen get their fun where they can find it. I don't imagine it to be
an easy life. We'll have to ask dxAce....

pretty good.I have no problem with watching them on tv.

That is like asking Dr. Kevorkian about the latest advances in geriatric
medicine.

Sure. He also invented dogs. That does not give cuhulin the permission
to practice the former on the latter.
