New York City Area Radio (Or, What a Mess...)
Posted: Jan 28th 2003, 1:51 am
Well, it finally happened. WNEW, the station that started with hard rock and then moved to "hot talk" (I think that's the term), has turned to the dark side. Monday morning, they started playing Adult Contemporary, which is radio lingo for "crap".
I pretty much stopped listening months to 'NEW months ago after Don & Mike got screwed (here comes fnordboy! ) out of the region, although I still listened to Ron and Fez, which my g-friend was a HUGE fan of (she's really upset right now. No, I'm serious. She's bummed! ). About two years ago, when D&M first arrived and Opie and Anthony were still on, the station was fantastic. Now, it's been reduced to J Lo.
Sorry, not my style.
Okay, I'm sounding like a harsh, bitter guy, but the fact of the matter is I'm a talk radio kind of guy, and the station that delivered for me lately just "flipped" (radio lingo for dumping a format when your rating are nil). Plus, my lady love is depressed because tomorrow's commute home is going to be horrific for her. It's a quagmire, I tell ya.
So, Tri-State Area kids - what do YOU listen to? Ignore my snide comments - all music has an audience and that's cool with me. However, aside from of NPR (which I really enjoy), I have little to bend my ear whilst driving, talk or otherwise.
Any suggestions?
