In reply to:Did you get the kind that can be docked in your car and on your home system?
In reply to:The NYC radio market is practically forcing us in to it
In reply to:I participate in an email group that is largely made up of jocks I used to work with in Hartford, CT, those who studied broadcasting with them at the University of Hartford, and friends. Many of them, like me, are no longer in the business, finding their services no longer needed. But, some are still jocking at small stations that are bucking the trends in smaller markets (Madison, WI) , and some are working in major markets.I have enormous resect for the old-school DJs like Jack... who kept many of us entertained our whole lives. But it's not the same anymore, and there's better alternatives now.
In reply to:I have never taken a really nice road trip but I think that would be great
In reply to:Jack I am in complete agreement with you on this one! Over the last 5 years or so I've listened to less and less radio. Especially with the rock stations gravitating to the cookie-cutter "nu rock" of Nickelback, Default, et al. The rock station here in Saskatoon plays the same 10 artists constantly throughout the day, most of those 10 albums being 80s rock to make matters worse (no offence to any big fans of the 80s).I barely listen to radio at all. In my car, I tune in a local station, that is licensed to a nearby high school, but is privately owned, and plays old stuff from the 30s and 40s. No commercials, and the "jocks" comprise high school students, and elderly volunteers. Most all of them are awful, but I don't mind in the least since I get so much great old music, with minimal interruption.
