TV Theme Songs that still get radio airplay - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

On my country retro station, you can hear The Ballad of Jed Clampett, The Dukes of Hazzard and the late 80s theme of Another World by Crystal Gayle and Gary Morris.

Anything still being played--and doesn't matter what genre, in your market?

The local AM station here from time to time plays the theme from The Rockford Files, and Magnum PI

I wanted to add that the theme song from "Movin On" ("Big Wheels Turning") also gets airplay on that country retro station.

"I Dont Wanna Wait" by Paula Cole (Dawsons Creek) I hear on the radio quite often. I was introduced to the song by the radio before I ever watched the show.
