Music and Line-up
The station's music policy and format has quietly evolved and refined from Classic rock to Mainstream rock. The music ranges from Classic rock such as The Rolling Stones through heavy metal Led Zeppelin and the Hard rock of AC/DC to modern Alternative rock from Biffy Clyro and Grunge and Post-grunge from Foo Fighters. To add spice occasional unknown tracks are played, as is some metal during daytime from bands such as Thrash Metallers Pantera and Slayer.
Its target market is wide but there is a slight bias the male age range of 35-64 years. In-depth RAJAR results show the station is not targeted and consumed by a particular socio-demographic group, it is balanced across all backgrounds.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
