That's a good question. To be honest, I don't remember an overabundance of Hootie and the Blowfish on the radio, but it's been three years since I lived in Columbus full time and I know some of the stations have changed formats. Or perhaps they're just feeling nostalgic for the nineties? But it's not like it's an Ohio band or anything. Weird.

I mostly stick to CD101 (http://www.cd101.com/) when I'm in town. If you are at all into Alt Rock and are willing to give some random Indie and local bands a try, it's a great station.
