Hot 97 Throwback

I heard Hot 97 announce today on the radio that they're starting a second radio station (on HD radio) that's basically going to be a 24-hour extension of the Throwback at Noon -- all older hip-hop. I don't really know what to make of digital radio, but the format idea is a great one. Throwback at Noon is one of my favorite radio shows, and I've been thinking for a long time about how there's a generation of upwardly mobile people out there, now in their 20s and 30s, who grew up on hip-hop. I'd love to see this take off as a proper radio format -- or at least see a hip-hop format that mixes in much more older stuff with the new.
