Back in the 70s, my radio
buttons were set on WLS, WCFL, WOWO, and 15 WLAC.

No WLW 700 {?}

I know I recoreded some of WOWO, because I used to listen to Ron Gregory's
"Hollywierd Report"


Was there a piece on WOWO in PopComm recently, you know, in there section on
stations that are no more.

Those are ALWAYS fascinating but yet sad stories. Oh the
history................I've yet, since radio became my hobby, have yet to have
one of the station on the BCB go 'silent'.....how I never have too either.

WOWO is even very difficult here in South Bend, only about 70 miles to the
northwest of Fort Wayne. On many nights I get IBOC hash from some worthless
piece of garbage station on 1200 kHz that I can't even hear. I doubt anyone
even in it's listening area doesn't even listen to the junk it broadcasts.
IBOC is such a worthless stupid idea that whoever came up with it should be
taken out and shot.

I don't think that I've ever had a broadcast band station go silent on me,
either.

However, I did have a tv station go silent on me.

And it was my favorite tv station at the time.

go figure.

So get rid of the smelly air from Frankenstein

I don't care who owns WLIB. But I will never forgive them for killing
one of
the best radio stations in middle America. Remember what happened to
WOWO,
50,000-watt blowtorch from Fort Wayne that covered 38 states and half of
Canada? The owner of WLIB bought them a few years ago, decreased their
power
and changed their directional pattern just so that WLIB could increase
its
own power to cover NYC. Then the owners dumped their damaged goods and
sold
WOWO to someone else.

That was one of the saddest days in broadcast history for me. WOWO used
to
have an incredible signal here in Kentucky. Back in the 70s, my radio
buttons were set on WLS, WCFL, WOWO, and 15 WLAC. And even though they
weren't still playing music, I was listening to them steadily every
night,
right up to the sad night when their strong signal became a noisy
whisper.

So as far as I'm concerned, WLIB can take a flying leap into the Hudson
River and let us have WOWO back.

That "noisy whisper"- Glad to see that the station and Mr. Limbaugh
have become a noisy whisper. We need as much fresh and QUIET air as we
can get!
