OK, now what?

[Brian Donegan]

I'd go to Sirius or XM for now.  Just wait 5-10 years.  clear Chanel, Cox, Infinity will be able to screw Sattalite radio up after they ditch terrestrial.  At that point Terrestrial radi owill go back to being locally owned and operated stations that (gasp!) serve the wants and needs of the market's audience..

I know I will be ripped by some for this one but Mayhem in the AM gives you a lot of that same guys hanging out cutting on each other without Larry's huge ego to control everything. Sports might be the slant but they don't go that heavy on the sports where they lose you.

Of course the OTP's like myself usually have to write them off for the winter because it is at least 7:30 before you can get the signal.

No Clear Channel Stations. Day 2.

Tried 790, but as expected no luck with signal for most of the ride. I ended up scanning FM until I landed on Steve Harvey for a while. It was OK, but I’m still looking for a new morning show.

Stern is free on sirius.com today so I’m giving it a try at the office. I've heard the F bomb so many times I had to use headphones. Is that all they got?

Tomorrow it’s O&A on the FreeFM stream.

That's why I miss the Regular Guys.  If I could listen to Mayhem on the way into work I wouldn't care nearly as much.  Since I live in Coweta county it's pretty obvious that I can't hear 790 until I get to work.  I think that show does a good job as a morning show as well.

No Clear Channel Stations. Day 3.

RGDD (Regular Guys Deficit Disorder) has set in. I listened to WSB this morning. Zzzzzzzzzzz. They had great local news, sports, traffic, and weather. Make no mistake; nobody has in-depth local coverage like they do. The only problem with WSB is they are missing a pulse. They have no edge whatsoever.

After yesterday’s free preview, Howard/Sirius is out. I’m taking a pass. Today is O&A on the FreeFM stream. Let’s see if XM is in my future.

I'm like you, Dash. While I enjoy Tom Joyner the show has too many serious moments that cause me to lose interest. I'm not 99X's demo anymore, seeing that I'm not a woman. The River...meh. DaveFM offers me more music in the morning, which I really don't want. Rhubarb doesn't really do it for me, although I remember listening to him many many moons

So, I've been burning a few new CDs and checking out the Griffin iTrip on Amazon so I can listen to my Nano while driving in the morning.

Oh, and 96.1 is no longer a preset.

No Clear Channel stations on my presets anymore.

The iTrip is great but I went with a cheaper brand and a Sansa mp3 player. It was just less than $100 for both. There’s a lot of programming to choose from on the net. I still have a 'squares' and the last two 'fu' line files on mine to help ease the RGDD…

No Clear Channel Stations. Day 6.

XM may be under the tree this year, but I still prefer a show that originates in Atlanta. O&A are entertaining, but they “ain’t from around here”. What Atlanta station is getting former TRG listeners?

[jmoore207]

I haven't made the jump yet to XM, but am considering it. Ron and Fez are really good. XM's lineup is much better for "Hot Talk". Can't bring myself to listen to "Hoo Hoo" everyone is stealing my bits over at Sirius. Atlanta morning radio is horrible. 

[Research_Weenie]

99x if you're male..

the Bert Show on Q100  if you're female.

Neither are Clear Channel morning shows.  Both are local, Atlanta based.

   Since the firing of TRGs,I've been bouncing btwn 99x and q100,with hopes that this whole abortion will come to am end sometime in the next 6 months.I listen to one till i start to cringe out of boredome,or out of the disgust I feel when they ask questions of they're guests and callers,(the questions are lame in my opinion)then I switch to the other one.If I get tired of both(and I do)I go to Boortz or Scott Slade.To be fair,q100 really isnt THAT bad.I can see how some people could find it appealing.I just like edgy radio.The new morning x is just awful.I'm giving it 6 months.If Trgs or some combination thereof(MPR would be great) hasnt returned to Atlanta radio,I'll be forced to Sirius onto the Stern bandwagon.Trgs are not being paid and I really believe that they will have to make a living somewhere and I've heard them say they Love this area.
