Does this serve any purpose beyond playing entry level dadrock?

Well....they are a little better than rival CBS radio. CBS won't play it unless was a top 5 hit. CBS also will cut the instrumental portions out and have their radio personalities keep talking on song intros and outros as much as possible.
However, Clear Channel is in deep debt trouble along with CBS and all the other major terrestrial radio companies. I think within 5-10 years all of them will have folded.
I won't miss them, our NPR music affiliate along with a few college stations and our one independent station are the only thing worth listening to on terrestrial radio. I wouldn't mind smaller scale local stations who would get rid of the corporate extremely safe playlists.
Dadrock? What are you talking about? They play the same five to 10 pop songs on the radio that they picked off Billboard just like any top 40 type.
