Default The end of radio.. Maybe..

As a kid growing up in the 70's I loved radio. I built many transmitters and
programmed many low power stations. I loved radio when personalities were
allowed to bring their personality to work and on air too. There was a time
when you could tell what city you were in by simply listening to a radio
station. To be honest I find most radio today stale. With the exception of a
few great stations it mostly all sounds the same. Corporate monolithic
programming for all. When I'm in the mood for music.. I love Pandora.com and
Slacker.com among other great web sites. When the radio is on it's mainly
background noise while driving. I never listen to radio when home, because I
have so many more great choices.. The spice of life is variety and
excitement.

" Radio is to music, as is KFC is to Chicken" thanks Lewis Black for that
line.
