Because they are mostly all owned by the same company. Clear Channel owns most of all the radio stations in the US.... THUS why music and programming is the same pretty much everywhere AND why it all sucks.

"How big is Clear Channel? The company owns stations in 247 of the nation's 250 largest radio markets. Clear Channel in particular dominates the Top 40 format (KIIS-FM in Los Angeles, WHTZ and WKTU in New York, KHKS in Dallas, WXKS in Boston, WHYI in Miami, etc.) and controls 60 percent of rock-radio listening."
