If it were up to me, in addition to specialty shows featuring '80s & '90s rock on Saturday nights, something else that the old 97.9 The LOOP & the defunct CD 94.7 used to do is something called a "Midnight Album". Back in the day, those stations used to air a classic album from start to finish without commercial interruption Tuesday-Saturday @ Midnight. Nobody does that anymore either.
One other thing I wish stations like 97.1 FM The Drive, ROCK 95.5 & others would do is to get more interactive with its listeners. The days of putting a request into your favorite station also appears to be long gone. It could still be done by way of phone, text & social media, but I don't hear that anymore either.
I understand that it takes resources & likely manpower to do what I've mentioned, but I think radio has to do a better job catering to its customers, especially in this era of streaming & downloading.
