Classic rock fans who tuned in WRRK-FM (96.9) this morning got a rude awakening when they heard songs like "Papa Don't Preach." The Steel City Media station, licensed to Braddock, flipped to "Bob FM" this morning. Ironically, the first casualty was a "Bob" and a Tom; the syndicated morning show is gone. (The music on "Bob" format stations typically consists of songs from a wide variety of rock and pop genres with few live DJs, so one assumes that the 'RRK airstaff is gone, too. ( So far, the mix sounds very "adult contemporary," but with more rock than an AC station.
That just reminded me of all the hip hop fans who screamed when they turned on 104.7 and got a dose of conservative talk radio, Quinn style. HA!
ReplyDeleteWow. That sucks. I didn't even notice because for the past few mornings I've been tuning into Howard Stern. I find the business politics surrounding his impending move to satellite fascinating.

Yuck. If there's anything worse than hip-hop, it's conservative talk, especially Quinn. About the only things that'd get a more violently negative reaction from me are opera and country.
Hey did you hear about the new hip hop opera. It stars Hank Williams Jr. as a conservative who attends an anti-war rally.
