OT: FM 949

[jpinpb]

Higgy – thanks for the link. I thought 91x was still owned by Clear Channel. The article seems to indicate otherwise. Maybe Halloran could go back to 91x. Interesting that Lynch is back w/91x. Funny. The more things change, the more they stay the same. In the end, radio is a small world.

People still listen to the radios? Isn’t that what the Internets and Eyepods are for?

(sorry, still bummed that 94.9 jacked our “Friends Chill” night at the Whistlestop. At least they could have done their version on a different night. Oh, and also picked a name that doesn’t have the world “chill” in it. I mean, really?)

Sadly, Halloran is probably a victim of the changing media marketplace. He’s a San Diego institution in the music scene, but commercial radio is probably in it’s final decade. Many more cars are coming equipped with satelite radio and iPod plugs, and even those further down the economic chain have CD players and low-end computers to burn cds. My own heirarchy of listening has been NPR > my iPod (mostly podcasts) > 94.9 > Sports talk radio > everything else on the dial. At this point in time, I really only have two stations programmed: NPR and 94.9.

I pretty much only listen to 105.3, but I switch around a lot (during commercials). 94.9, I am just not into the non hard rock stuff they play all the time. Probably suits you cali hipsters a lot more than me. Can’t stand KPRI with these acoustic sets from some little known female vegan. However I at least understand KPRI sees a market not being served and goes after it.

Mornings I flip from Cowerd to Rome. Once in a while I’ll have Scott and BR on but typically not because I don’t follow any local sports.

Given my lack of interest in local scene and flipping around every time a commercial comes on I am exactly what hurts local commercial radio. Now, if I hear a good Tool song on 94.9 I stay (as an example). In 5 years here I have no idea who Mike was (or Mikey for that matter). Lastly I am kind of glad that KGB dropped it’s morning format. What I hated were the nightly repeats. When I can’t get a good song on 91X, 105.3, or 94.9, the next check was KGB and starting at 7:00 there was no more music. Now, I will say as a classic rock fan, KGB is the worst station ever. To me you have to mix in more of the metalish type of music from the 70s and 80s. Sometimes their selections drive me batty.

The Clear Channel thing is killing radio but CC is losing money hand over fist so that might die of natural causes.

I really need to get an ipod converter and start listening to my Bill Simmons Podcasts that I never get around to playing. (TG will appreciate that)
