iTMS Radio Charts: Gold Standard Radio Stations
In my attempt to never grow old, I've gotten into the habit of downloading the most popular songs in different genres. With the addition on radio station charts to iTMS, I was wondering if people could suggest a few gold standard radio stations for me to use as reference? For example, I consider KROQ in Los Angeles or WFNX in Boston to be the benchmark of alternative music. I'm less familiar with pop, hip-hop/R&B, rap stations. I'm looking to find the standard bearers of a particular genre, not just the most popular station in a particular city.

Yep, listeners hear the same songs in Memphis as they would in Seattle.
KMXV is part of Infinity Broadcasting (About 190 stations owned by Viacom)
A few interesting features to note on the website:
- playlists are real-time and archived
- a CD-quality stream is available
- the last two weeks of broadcast are archived!
enjoy,

This station is one of the few things I really miss about living in Maryland.
