NPR is pretty interesting, but a mite too liberal for my standards,
what I crave is some good old "Wolfman Jack" or even back a bit
more, "Innersanctem" {sp?} and the squeaking door! XERF DelRio?

Still plenty of stations that rebroadcast the old programs,
but there is still nothing like live radio.

As to NPR and liberalism...they have /many/ good programs that have nothing
to do politics of any sort.


I love this one

The sad part about the AM band is that at night when you can move out of
the local, so much of it is syndicated, and usually the same show or two.
The local stations love it, filler for a time when audience is down, but
no thrill when tuning the band. There was a local station carrying "Coast
to COast" and every time it looked like the station was going to fail,
everyone would say "but what about Coast to Coast?" as if they couldn't
get the program so easily up and down the dial. And when that station did
finally die, another station grabbed it right away. Sad, that station
used to have local programming overnight.

For about a decade, I'd listen to WBZ out of Baston overnight if the local
overnight programming wasn't interesting that night, and the overnight
syndicated programming wasn't interesting. WBZ has a good reach
overnight, and except for the fading, might as well be local then. And
they know it, so they keep local programming (though often the guests and
calls are not just about Boston) and basically invite callers from all
over.

Reception got sporadic when a local station started up at 1040, just above
WBZ.

And I'm finding I'm not listening to much radio late at night.
