Is it because the claim is generally understood to be hyperbole? What is a laundry detergent said, "DetergentX cleans every stain!" and it really doesn't? It's like Meatloaf - "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that" Legally, how can a radio station get away with saying “we play everything” when they don’t?

In Boston, it's unfortunate that MikeFM replaced an energenic station with fun DJs, but that in itself is not reason for me to dislike the station. I'm just not comfortable hearing Adam Ant, Nirvana, and Rod Stewart all sequentially. Alas, I doubt we'll ever see eye-to-eye on this one :) My plug for Boston-area radio stations? WBOT Hot 97.7!
