As you can see, there are numerous country stations in this area. That is logical, though, because a lot of people in this area listen to country music. What's missing are rock stations. I, personally, love industrial rock, but the closest thing we have in this area is classic rock. I believe there are many like me who are underserved in the rock category. 

Internet radio, satellite radio, podcasts, and HD radio are much better options for people like me. I, personally, hook my phone up to my auxiliary port in my car when I want to listen to music, and listen to the hours of songs I have downloaded to my phone. There's just not enough rock in this area. Of any kind (except classic).
