I was one of the Diary People last year.......

And no, I didn't tweak the results. My diary matched my listening habits of an hour each morning and afternoon of jazz during my commute drives on Mon thru Fri; then a couple of hours of Adult Contemporary on the weekend when I was driving my wife's car with her controlling the radio. No daytime listening and little evening listening. The former station was popular in local stores and restaurants as it played music more current than Muzac, but with no subscription fee!
The FM frequency previously assigned to my former favorite station is now broadcasting Urban Contemporary (for lack of a better name), not pure Hip-Hop but with a strong Hip-Hop/Rap flavor to the music.
My frustration of losing a favorite radio station is exceeded only by my incredulity at the decision to broadcast as HD only. HD reception is still rare in cars radios and home stereos. The "bust" of satellite radio has consumers reluctant to spend money for special adapters to receive the HD signals, and the populatity of personal mp3 players (another trend I don't try to understand) probably condems HD radio even more.
