The radio station I listen to is 95.5 KLOS. I usually only listen to it in the morning and that is when the Mark And Brian radio show is on. I love that show! Its so funny! A great thing to listen to in the morning.

Another broadcast veteran checking in.

Last year I got the boot from Clear Channel in Biloxi, MS as part of the budget cuts when they were trying to inflate the stock price for the buyout. I started in 1979 right out of high school and wanted to be on the radio since I made that decision at the age of 10 and luckily did just that more on than off for nearly 30 years as a jock and production director. I still do spots from my home studio.

Clear Channel and the rules changes of the early '90s ruined radio for me. I still love to listen to airchecks from the '60s & '70s and am proud to count among my friends a guy named Willie B, a former KTNQ Los Angeles and B-100 San Diego boss jock from that era now doing afternoons in Indianapolis, but now it's Sirius for me, about 95% of that is Sirius Blues 74. The rest is my iPod.

Clear Channel killed my Inner Child.

I pretty much limit my radio listening anymore. Mostly its NPR for news and classical music during the day. They also play some decent jazz at night, leaving one night a week for classic early jazz. Saturday mornings another local station will play older bluegrass and folk, but otherwise I'm in a cultural wasteland and relying on computer feeds and mp3 downloads.
