One of the cool things they did was the "Drive @ 5" in which they would play an x amount of songs in a row based on their years of existence. That one started going downhill when they got rid of their popular morning show and eventually they changed to the scrubbed music format of "The River".G. B.

When I moved to Atlanta (a long time ago) - my new office had an easy listening station playing in the background. One day I came in and they were playing what is now known as Classic Rock. I was excited, but it lasted about 10 minutes. :) The station finally shut down a couple of years ago. My favorite feature was the "perfect album side" that listeners could submit - they played it on Friday nights. And I loved the Friday at 5pm "whistle."<br /><br />The show WKRP in Cincinnati was written around that very thing happening that I describe above. The real life disc jockey was Skinny Bobby Harper.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-87367129295487119342014-08-03T11:56:54.807-04:002014-08-03T11:56:54.807-04:00G.A.: I usually listen to sports talk radio, altho...G.A.: I usually listen to sports talk radio, although there are few shows that I absolutely cannot stand.<br /><br />What you need is college radio, which will fill the need you crave.G.

If you combine a ratings slump with a reputation of not seeing things through, this is what happens.<br /><br />You'll find this interesting, on their very last show yesterday (8/1) they had Howard Stern on as a guest, which is due to the fact that Howard got his radio career started at WCCC back in the day.G.

Guess it's a little late for them to have learned their lesson.Riot Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725825736285347870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-13776231402630739232014-08-01T19:22:26.092-04:002014-08-01T19:22:26.092-04:00Joe: I have a very hard time getting into any kind...Joe: I have a very hard time getting into any kind of pop music. With that being said, I think she comes across well as an actress. As a singer, I'll have to take your word for it. I tried watching a video (not the one I have posted) but most of the background music and/or other singers kind of drowned out her voice.G. B.
