This "bad" economy that we've all heard so much about but haven't really felt other than massive sales and decreasing and now rising gas prices is finally starting to trickle its way into my life.
And it's hitting the radios, hard.
Beyond the proposed radio tax in the works, I've lost quite a bit of patience with radio especially here in the Sacramento/Central Valley market.
First, my favorite radio station since I was about 12, KWOD, has been off the air for about a month now and I want to cry. When I didn't get LIVE 105 in my old house in the Bay Area, I could get Sacramento stations across the valley, like KWOD. And for the life of me, I can't find a suitable replacement. Broke radio stations suck.... I was also trying to win concert tickets like crazy on their big texting give-away that apparently never came into fruition.
But LIVE 105 hasn't been without its cutbacks either. The Woody show in the morning is gone. Much like that prematurely-ended Adam Carolla show. Apparently he has a podcast that I've yet to check out, but I'm still majorly in shock that they canceled his morning show way back in February.
I'm getting so frustrated with all of this!!! Why can't the listeners have their way?! I realize it takes money to run radio stations, but why can't they stay?!?
Anyways, this is just a really long way of saying I'm back listening to French radio online at work. And at home I can download international radio stations through my iPod/iTunes without actually being at a computer.
Over it.
