F**K commercial radio!!!

Seriously, I hate it. I mean I listen now and again, but generally? they're awful. And the bottom line is absolutely money. NOthing else.

I worked in commercial radio for two years...not for any of the biggies - but it sucked just as bad. I HATED it...it was one of the worst jobs I've had.

Also - just recently CC made huge cuts in Rochester...a friend of mine got laid off..she had seniority, was highly qualified etc..BUT since she'd been there so long she was a more expensive employee so they sacked her. Assholes.

Oh - and I think I forgot to mention, I hate Commercial Radio!!!

yeah, i effing hate commercial radio, too. that sucks about your friend.

the only radio i listen to anymore is public/community radio. my favorite station around here is 91.3 WAPS. they're one of the few stations that still has theme-oriented programming, like my personal favorite show "pickin' the grass" (bluegrass) on monday nights.

Very cool looking station! I like the diversity in their music programming AND they run The World Cafe

I pretty much always have a cd in my car - or I listen to my station...I wish I had a stereo in which I could plug in my mp3 player, but I'm po' so that's a while off.

Hey - did your brother make it in for Thanksgiving?

Hmm..is fm doohickey the official name? The only problem is all those accessories are mostly for iPod..which I don't have...so I want a stereo with an audio jack that you can plug anything into...

Great! Glad your brother made it in

I'm ripping Stumble into Grace and All the Roadrunning as I type
