I heard about this yesterday via the NYRMB (New York Radio Message Board). It's a blog that is used heavily by industry people and some radio fans as well. It's been up since 1997 and this whole CBS-FM debacle has given the board the most hits (over 100,000 in a week) that it's ever had! They had to make a special auxilary blog just for the CBS issue. If your interested you can check it out at http://musicradio.computer.net/anotherboard/wwwboard/ Chicago! We feel your pain and we're aware of the rug being pulled from beneath you as well. There has been talk of this on the NYRMB as you will see if you check it out. As far as this Sirius Satellite Radio issue is concerned I can see myself becoming a subscriber in the near future. I'm not thrilled by the initial $250-300 investment. That's a little steep for frickin radio, but I am a radio fan, and I would like to hear Cousin Brucie and some of the other programing they have, so I guess I'll have to splurge. At this point, terrestrial radio is all but dead. Right now I am listening to the Classic Rock station here in New York Q-104.3. I was never a huge fan of this station. The jocks kinda suck, alot of them sound like Coors Light swilling frat guys. I've seen pictures of some of them and one still has a mullet!! Um excuse me...you're playing music that originated in the counter-culture of yore. Remember? Back when the word 'cool' actually had some meaning. Why Q-104.3 wants jocks that sound like they just got off the golf course is beyond me. With the exception of Scott Muni, who died this past year, I really didn't listen to them THAT much. Case in point: they just played Aerosmith 'Dream On' for the ka-billionth time!!!! AAAARRGGGGGHHHH!! Hello!!! There is 35 years of 'Classic Rock' out there! Open up the playlists!!! Play a different song....Play a different Aerosmith song! 'Toys In the Attic'!! That's a great song!! NEVER hear it on the radio. They'd rather play 'Dude Looks Like A Lady' OR 'Dream On'....again!! I know it's a lost cause, but I'll say it anyway.....Bring back WCBS-FM! I listen to my 'Classic Rock' (I hate that term) on my own. If I can site some lyrics by Queen here: All we hear is radio ga ga Radio goo goo Radio ga ga All we hear is radio ga ga Radio blah blah Radio what's new ? Radio, someone still loves you
