Sure radio has changed in the way it is technically produced, and those

Yeah, and there are museums worth visiting, too. Your stations are not
typical of broadcasting today. Sure, they've managed to take marginal
Class A stations and make them work. And that's fine. But it's not what most
of radio is about. Back in the day, that was ALL that radio was about.

As with anything else, broadcasting is what one makes of it.


I guess we blame it on Bill Drake -- "More music, more music, more music, more
music." For the most part people don't care about DJs and local content.
That much is in evidence with the ear buds people wear today. They ain't
listening to the radio...
