They weren't doing it when I tuned it but there's a new online outlet that purports to offer a unique taste of classic Top 40 radio, by offering an hour or more of major stations 24 hours a day. 

According to freelance columnist Richard Wagoner's second story in the L.A. Daily News:

"I happened upon Fantasy-Radio.Com, a website dedicated to bringing “legendary top-40 radio stations back to life.” Every hour the site plays music and recordings from a different city and different station, such as WCFL/Chicago, or Ten-Q, KHJ or even HitRadio 93, KKHR (now KCBS-FM, 93.1 FM)...

"It seems to be an online jukebox of music for a certain era and a chosen station’s jingles for that era; occasionally a DJ will announce some songs. The “playlist” promises original recordings, however, including personalities such as Dan Ingram, Rick Dees, “The Real” Don Steele, and Dave Donovan."

I haven't been able to monitor it much yet, but a check of their published schedule is eye (and ear!) opening.

A small sample:

WABC, New York (featuring, among others, Dan Ingram) CKLW, WCFL, WLS, KHJ, WKBW (featuring Jackson Armstrong), WQXI Atlanta, WFIL Philadelphia, KCBQ San Francisco, WRKO Boston, WHBQ Memphis, KQV Pittsburgh and my personal favourite, WNBC New York. 

And that's just a partial list.  

You can see the entire schedule and times here and listen to the station, called "Fantasy Radio," at this link.
