You guys are all awesome!! Thanks for your help (see post below)!
I was listening to my country station this morning and what came on but "Wide Open Spaces." I nearly had a heart attack. I've heard "Landslide" on local top 40 stations, but this is the first Dixie Chicks song I have heard on local country radio since 2003. (They may have played them - I don't listen like I used to...but if so, it's rare). So, of course I emailed the station as soon as I got home from work. This was my response:
"Thank you for taking the time to send an e-mail. It's so good to hear positive feedback about the music (and especially in regards to the Dixie Chicks!). It does sound SOOO good to hear them back on the radio. They add a certain something that no other artist has been able to tap into. There's lots of great new music out now too-hope you enjoy!"
So...we'll see what happens, but THANKS!!

wonderful! normally the only chicks song i hear is CTMA but one day my mom was listening to country radio and without you came on when i heard the beggining i thought oh its propably going to be another artist singing it... then i heard Natalie's voice and i was like ".........."
lol then i ran outside. i said :mom do you hear it?!?!" she was like "yea, i do" (she sounded bored like its something that always happenes and i was over reacting) then she told me that the whole neighborhood doesnt need to know and i should stop yelling : ( i thought it would b a good idea to tell everyone!!!!

Good stuff. I'm very pleased for you, ed! If only we could get some UK stations to play them more

I told them that maybe I'd start listening again if they played them. I checked out yes.com. They played the Chicks at least FIVE times today!! CTMA, WOS and If I Fall.... Woohoo! Peak hours too... That's huge for a San Diego station. They played them in LA yesterday too. These are all big markets that haven't been playing them.

Well, at least you've had some success....I haven't heard any, and when I call, they say, "yeah, we'll get that on for you", and then I invariably sit there and listen for no less than 5 hours, just to hear nothing but the same-old stuff they play all the time, and no Chicks!
