Terrestrial radio is a dead medium.
It's going to have to reinvent itself in order to compete with the technology
that's replacing
it.
We now live in an on demand culture.
The internet killed both the radio star and the video star, and it's given rise
to the
YouTube star, where everybody has be
Grock was just a shell of the station that the old 106.3 was. As far as
sponsoring shows in the area, most of the time radio stations aren't
bringing these acts to the area they are just promoting the show through
advertising. The acts will still come, the venues will just have to
find other
Was this change in radio announced awhile ago? I never read about it,
maybe I was in the dark.

Like MIke just said, there are no hosts yet, so it has that cheesey sound
to it. G Rock had the same thing when they first came out, most stations do

It's definitely a loss to the entire music scene within it's listening range.
I know so many people that listen to this station at work, and I'm sure they
are up in arms,
and in search of what to listen to next. This will probably be another nail in
the coffin of
terrestrial radio.

Or said another way, everyone here is always talking about AP and its
music scene. Well, a huge part of the music scene here (Pony,
Convention Hall) and at Starland is alternative. Beyonce will not be
playing at the Pony any time soon. But the one station that would
sponsor shows and announce s
No, I meant it will be gone bc they no longer play that music any
more. Why would they sponsor concerts at the Pony for bands that they
do not play? As for their ratings- well all radio ratings are down.
Don't know how much better a Z100 wannabe station would do. At least
they had a niche. Now,

Something Gabrielle said recently made me think of this concept.

would like
to be heard and discussed on the city level, but I also think that it may be

Yesterday during the transition of power, a new website was launched.

Wouldn't such a thing be a great addition to our cities website?

Interesting article about a building in NYC that was built in the early 60s
getting remodeled.
Reminds me of the fate of the 5th Avenue Pavilion remodeling.

Buildings need not be 'old' to be architecturally significant.
