Music Choice on Digital Cable

Postby Nicholls9 » Tue Aug 28, 2007 9:39 pm

My local Digital cable provider (Comcast) has music channels that i'm sure are pretty common accross the the USA. Does anyone listen to the Retro Active (New Wave) station? I play it pretty frequently and they have a really huge music selection and play some very random stuff. I went to their web site looking for a play list or copy of their library and it was not available. I grew up listening to KROQ and did not have exposure to things KROQ did not play. I'm hearing a lot of different songs from the 80's.

Just wondering if others enjoy this or the other digital stations.

I listen to Retroactive quite regularly. As you said, they have a huge selection of music, which I am surprised has stayed that way over the past few years.
