Radio Sucks
By: Mac Date: January 17, 2012, 10:43 am
---------------------------------------------------------
It’s a sad, sad day for me today with my local radio. I have a
vested interest, because my drive time to work is at the minimum
45 minutes, so I want the ride to and back to be comfortable.
KSHE, our largest rock station, which has been syndicating the
Bob and Tom show in the morning for over 10 years, suddenly and
quietly, pulled the plug on the syndication. They have gone back
to doing what they do with the rest of the 21 hours on air. Play
the same old tired classic rock Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and Ozzy
material… constantly.
When KSHE brought on Bob and Tom, it was radical and yet a
breath of fresh air. I have absolutely grown to love and expect
a fun morning drive in with some great comedians and funny
conversations. I was at a point anyway in my life looking beyond
classic rock. I’ve heard all that so much, it didn’t matter if I
heard less of it. The worse thing of course is the stations
programming. I might actually listen a little if their
programming wasn’t so limited.
Letter to KSHE:
Dear KSHE jocks and management, here’s a suggestion… Led
Zeppelin has more than 5 songs. In fact they have a whole slew
of albums. And on those albums the boys made a lot of different
songs. 10 at the very least. Maybe even more. You might want to
try playing those songs. Other rock groups in your limited
library have done similar things. There’s lots of songs out
there you continue to ignore. While you’re at it, this is 2013.
There have been a lot of groups that have formed, created new
rock and put it out there. You might want to try them… or are
you deliberately limiting yourself to the 1900’s? Also, you
might want to listen to your listeners instead of some outside
company telling you what the demographics are and play to that
list. Saying that, you’re not so special anymore. You sound like
several other rock stations. I can hear all this classic rock,
anytime, anyplace. I don’t need your radio station.
Asshats
I did write all parties involved. How would any of them know if
you don’t say anything. I’m not sure why KSHE stopped the show.
To save money? To try recapture the days of yesteryear? St.
Louis was the top city in syndication. It doesn’t make sense and
I can only hope one of the other stations pick them up.
F uck KSHE. I have absolutely no need to tune into that station
anymore.
And to make my morning even more bleak, I scanned the rest of
the stations. Good lord, what crap. I found a couple of guys
where I guess it ‘the morning zoo’ (ugh) kind of comedy. Did not
like that at all. These buttwipes were contemplating, if given a
choice, to have diabetes or cancer. What life would they rather
live. Retarded first comes to mind.
Please, please, please let someone in St. Louis realize the
black hole that exists.
Ok, my rant is over.

I know how you feel dude. I too have invested a lot of time into
certain radio stations and programs only to have the rug pulled
out from underneath me. You invest enough time into a show or
format and you want to be rewarded for it with longevity, only
to have some suit come in a change things just for the sake of
changing things (i.e. to justify their paychecks). It's because
of this type of blatant disregard for the listeners that I have
basically avoided radio (for the most part) since they f ucked
with my favorite show at the time; Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw.
