Here in New York 92.3 K-Rock, said goodbye to Howard Stern today as he moves on to Sirius. K-Rock will also be changing their format from alternative rock to 'Free FM', a new FM talk format. My thoughts are a) I'm not a big Howard fan so I don't care. b) Alternative rock radio has sucked since all of the 90s grunge and alternative bands broke-up, dissolved, or had their leaders off themselves, so I'm not gonna miss K-Rock c) I'm so glad I have Sirius radio so I don't have to listen to FM anymore. d) I saw Dave with Van Halen twicw in the 80s and it was f'ing awesome!

K-Rock was talk radio for half the day anyway, there was no music on the Howard Stern Show, and didn't they just repeat his show again for the people who go to work later?

Here in San Diego we have FM949 who don't talk over the beginning & end of songs, they back announce the music they played, and don't spend all day talking about their great new mattress or latest bad date or who they saw at a club last night.
