It's talk, with national host's but they're also provide more local content than any of the commerical stations do. Besides you can actually listen.. I like Rush but every day it's the same thing. Dems & libs suck! it's every day.. Same for Hanity the same thing every day * *Well, maybe if they'd suck less, it wouldn't be a problem ![]() * *I've heard the NPR station out of Jacksonville, when I was vacationing in St. Augustine. It IS a most listenable station. Not great morning radio, but a lot better than the local morning zoos on the commercial stations. Even the syndicated morning shows get a little tired, and mighty contrived of late. * *Whoopi Goldberg came to the Windy, and a highly rated Melissa Forman got the boot to make room for Whoopi. And it sucked. Seg two records, blather for 15 minutes. Not like she said anything of particular interest...unusual given her background. And she said nothing that wasn't of interest to Chicago. Just the same generic blather the other syndicated morning shows offered. * *Whoopi didn't last long, and Melissa was invited back. Now, I'm not a big fan of Melissa Forman, but dammit, at least she knows and understands Chicago, and can relate to us as someone who lives here. Whoopi simply didn't relate to Chicago. And her lack of success here demonstrated how important that is. * *I don't think local morning radio is necessarily doomed. At least, not everywhere. And, in time, local manglement will come to realize that if you're going to have local-local-local sales emphasis, you're going to have to have local programming. * *David Eduardo is big on reminding us that in the 'Golden Age,' Radio was networked across the country. And people tuned in to the same shows at the same time, nationwide. But with the demise of the 1-A's, and the FCC's mandate that Radio coverage be local-local-local, the trend to return to network Radio as we've had it, is contrary to every stated purpose of FCC. - In the end what you get, is locally protected contours - that are about Sales. And nothing else. DPM -reveals- The Great Truth of Commercial AM & FM Radio ! "In the end what you get, is locally protected contours that are about Sales. And nothing else." And HD-Radio tightens-up the 'protected' Contours to further localize the Sales and 'protect' the Local Market from Outside competition. While HD-Radio may be Bad for Radio Listeners : HD- Radio may be Good for the Radio Business. ~ RHF *.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I stopped listening to talk radio some time ago. I can't get WJNT at night and I am approxamently 40 miles from Jackson, Ms and I got tired of listening to Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingram, and Sean Hannity during the day. I sometimes get my fill of Sean Hannity arguing with Alen Colmes on FNC. I listen to K-Love on FM100.9 in Jackson which is good Christian Radio. |
