Well, here in Chicago (your typical city...), WXRT (93.1FM) plays some
Dead just about every day or so. They even made "Featured Artists" one
day a couple of months ago.. Dead on the air, all day long!  Of course,
WXRT is a somewhat eclectic AOR station and doesn't always pay attention
to the conventional "commercial appeal."  And it's also one out of about
half a dozen AOR stations in this market, none of which ever plays anything
but the occasional "Truckin'". 

So...what station plays Dead in YOUR town?
