I know there's a few non-ClearChannel stations near where I live and they actually make listening to the radio worthwhile.

I can get two stations that play Bob and Tom all morning, one even does it 7 days a week

I'm pretty sure everything in my area is either ClearChannel, iHeartRadio, or now Beasley Media, expect for the member-supported ones. Most channels stayed the same over the years, but some big changes came for sure as things got bought by larger groups.

About ten years ago now, a group of local music fans put up the money to start an indie radio station. It was great. Most of my psychobilly collection comes from listening to this station. They were great with community involvement too. Then some local businessman bought the station to save it or whatever and now it's radio edited alternative rock. Still makes me grumpy.

I hate to break this to you but any athlete that wants to make any money on what they do will be hitting the PEDs. All of them, no exceptions. The main advantage of steroids isn't that they make you jacked (a great bonus) it's recovery. You can train longer and harder which means more practice with less down time. You'll also be able to play more games or have more bouts.

And testing is a joke the only people that get caught are the clinically stupid or the people the ones running the sport want popped.

That sure is a sweltering hot take on stuff people were talking about two pages ago there champ. Can barely wait to hear what you think about the radio chat. Not, like now or anything, best wait for the conversation to move on, then wait another couple of pages to really hone your razor wit. If you rushed we wouldnt get this level of quality insight and we wouldnt want that.

Local rock station has Bob and Tom on in the mornings, but they also give the Deejays more or less free reign and run a bunch of cross promotions with the local bars that bring in mid-card bands. This past weekend they were playing mostly 90's/early 00's songs because they thought it would be a good idea and got approval from their higher ups to do so.

No way in hell i'd listen to the local pop station, or the eighteen country stations that are slowly multiplying on the upper end of the dial.

I'm still upset about 96.5 in Orlando being turned from a rock radio station to a simulcast AM talk radio station, but the one thing I won't miss is Bubba the Love Sponge every weekday morning. I dreaded hearing "Voodoo Child" play on the radio in high school because it meant:

1. I need to get up in a few minutes.

2. Bubba is coming on.

That man's voice is like a sandpaper chainsaw when you're just waking up. It's all Howard Stern clone bits that inevitably end with Bubba and his bros in the station screaming over the person on the line before disconnecting.

I don't know if they are still around, but I used to listen to these two dorks called Lex and Terry out of Jacksonville every morning back in the late 90s/early 00s.

Clear Channel and iHeartRadio are the same thing btw. Clear Channel as a brand name only exists for their Outdoor dept. But they are all under the umbrella of iHeartMedia, Inc.

I remember around 2000/2001, the radio station I grew up (KISW 99.9 in Seattle) with got bought out and the new manager wanted them to cut one of the morning guys, so they all walked out. Months went by of nothing but old tape, and they were eventually replaced by a terribly unfunny "two dicks and a chick" trio from Las Vegas, that they simulated to Vegas. They didn't last more than two years, as they were gone before I moved away in 2003.

you mean the fight that was somehow less legitimate than when one of the same participants fought a professional wrestler? or maybe you mean the fight with one of the most spectacularly botched decision finishes to the extent that most people just write it off as boxing being as corrupt as ever?

I lucked out, growing up. The rock station from the next state just barely made it to my parents' house, and I got to listen to Jack Daniels and Tom Collins while getting ready for school. Those were their real names, too. :)

Jack, at least, was not named specifically for booze, although he exploited it when the booze had their anniversary. He has a twin sister, Jill.

Whenever a station 'changes direction' (code for new management/music/owners) they usually cut the morning shoe people, since the morning show people are the 'flagship' for the station (most popular)

Woman decides to poison her brother's 11-week-old daughter as a way of getting "even" with him. Brags about it on her cellphone to her boyfriend. Gets caught red-handed, milk is tested and proves to have lethal dose of Excedrin crushed up in it, (Mom found the bottle and never gave it to the baby, baby is fine) now she's on the run from the law and wanted for attempted murder.
