I eventually left radio behind for mostly the same reason I quit television: 10 minutes of content and 50 minutes of commercials, and no small amount of hyperbole just got to be more irritating than it was worth. In my time, six spots was the max in a stop set. Now I hear ten, twelve, fourteen.
Even in my small hometown, we had at least three full service 5kw AM stations with full local news departments. Oh my how I miss those days. This was in When I got back to Milwaukee, after my stint in Indy, I was disgruntled of course for the lack of jazz radio. Tuning around at night one time, just last year, low and behold, I got some great jazz on the FM dial!
They have a station in Grand Rapids and Muskegon. Pretty rare and decent reception for FM! Normally it only would make the middle of Lake Michigan. I miss some of the great late night hosts that were on radio years ago. It was a great way to go to sleep at home or in a tent. None of the TH AMs were very powerful. Grew up in Rochester listening to WOWO most of the day … my father had to listen to the farm reports early morning before it was even light enough to go out and start working.
I never lived close enough to hear this station but the September clip sounded like a local station here when I was a kid. There is still a local fm station in a neighboring community where someone literally runs a radio station out of their garage. People are simply starved for local content instead of the bubble gum syndicated crap that everyone is peddling today. I guess big personalities and local flair are too expensive and not cookie cutter enough but they sure do make me happy whenever I can find them.
Radio listenership is down in every dimension. I wonder if the time for local radio is just past. No one wants to hear the same twenty songs all day. With not much worth listening to on the radio here in Indy, a long drive around town usually means working my way through a podcast queue.
What a joy it is to capture that scratchy signal of what sounds like a still-alive local radio station. But you have to listen for a while to be sure, so you pray that your direction of travel is taking you closer to that sound and not farther away.
I had no idea! Some of my other favorites had either already left or had been let go. When I worked downtown years ago, I used to swing by and drop off Hilligoss Bakery Brownsburg doughnuts to the morning crew on occasion. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
