WNKU is a AAA station, but Cincinnati is already served by WGUC, a 24-hour classical outlet, and WVXU, an all-news outlet. Claiming a victory when I see one. The AAA format will include indie rock, world music, alternative rock, alternative country, and blues. Not classical.

When someone attempts to greet you in the globally inclusive way, all of you, I doubt they are referring to the component material or parts of your corporeal presence. They are just ignorant or being lazy.
