I don't think Baker worked in New York for 20 years. Dominick Brascia at KOLE in Port Arthur has worked there, and probably needs another gig soon.

Get an Ipod and load it with the music you like. You'll be a lot happier.

>>>A suggestion-If there is a radio talk show host that you have a strong opinion about (positive or negative) and you want your opinion to be heard by someone who really matters, contact the advertisers whose ads air during that show. Contact all the advertisers on that station. Tell them what you think. <<<
Yeah - but all the money $$$$$ people are friends of Michael Berry!

If this is true, that's all the more reason to contact the advertisers. Advertisers should know what real listeners are thinking. If you are turning off a station due to the content, let the advertisers know.
If an advertiser is not happy with the response they are getting from their radio ads, the first person they call is their sales rep at the station. The sales rep is going to spin it any way they can to keep the advertiser from pulling their ads. Wouldn't it be nice if radio advertisers had another source of information...like actual listeners. (And not Arbitron.)
This gives me an idea for a web site. A consumer-oriented site where the radio listening public could vote on what stations they listen to, what shows they like best, which advertisers they patronize because they heard their radio ads, etc. It would be very unscientific, but it would give listeners a much needed, real voice and enable them to be heard. Heck, it would be just as unscientific as boards, forums or blogs and people seems to pay some attention to those.

It is sad that there is nothing I want to listen to on Houston radio. I spent the weekend in Chicago. What a difference. KTRH Programming: the left is evil the left hates families the left hates freedom the left hates the troops the left hates God BEWARE THE CLINTONS! (Repeat for 12 hours)  |

(Repeat for 12 hours) Isn't the above true for most CC stations or those that carry conservative talk?? If you disagree with them, you are EVIL!!! (Thankfully I have mind of my own and think for myself....I dont need Rush with his pills or Hannity with his mouth to tell me what to think......and no I dont listen to Air America either  |

I was told this was a good board that would allow me to keep update on radio, boy was I misled. You guys sound like a bunch of out of work liberal radio "has beens" that are angry at the world.
Once your done calling all the advertisers, see if you have any time left to get a life!!

Hey Easy Money,
I see where you got your name. You obviously haven't had to work for anything or you'd understand.
Calling everyone you disagree with a "liberal"? what, are you rush limbaugh?
sorry you were misled. go back to monitoring your stock portfolio, and we'll while away our pitiful lives here without you.
by the way, we were here long before you, and we'll be here after your gone. thanks for your insight.

I do happen to like Rush Limbaugh and I am proud that I have a nice stock portfolio. I have always been open-minded to change and willing to look at things with a different perspective, which is probably why I enjoy that luxury.
If you and some of your buddies would come out of the dark ages with your way of thinking, you may be able to enjoy some of these same luxuries.
You may also want to change your "glass is always half empty" attitude. I'm sure you and Truthsayer are buddies. Probably sit around all day talking about the good ole days and how wonderful it used to be. Wake up and realize it will soon be 2008, not 1988 !!
