The Brew has switched formats. It's now trying to be Kiss FM. wtf, 97.3, wtf.

The thing is, I remember when The Brew switched off from being whatever it was before (jazz, maybe?), and so this is sort of a milestone. I've been here long enough that a radio station has come and gone. How weird is that? (102.1's shenanigans don't count and Lazer 103 flipped before I moved)

It is at least nice to know I won't suffer that obnoxious morning show anymore. I bet they'll get a NEW obnoxious one.

i hate morning shows. i can stand one for a bit (102.5), but the others? ugh. i want music in the morning, not immature laughing at fart jokes or just laughing in general (yes bob & tom, that's you. you suck.)

Bob & Tom is highly annoying, I think it's 96.5 that has them. The Lake (94.5) isn't too bad in the mornings, they just play music. But they spend a ridiculous amount of time congratulating themselves for it, which is annoying.

I did used to like morning shows. And the 102.1 is two basement dwelling mouth-breathing geek boys, which is occasionally entertaining.

They did what??? Awww man, now where am I going to get my classic rock? *pouts* Note to self: must charge iPhedre.

Gah, morning shows! *hands* I was so angry when The Brew started with Connie and Fish in the morning. The whole point of listening to a Milwaukee station was avoiding the Demented Twins (they're out of Z104 in Madison). Now I listen to 94.5 The Lake, which plays everything and has no morning show. Just music. :D

96.5 is still classic rock. I think they'd need to seriously tank in the ratings to change (and I think that's part of why The Brew did change over).

I wasn't, like, fond? of the original morning show, but Connie and Fish made me want to punch them.

The Lake is pretty awesome, all round, considering the variety they manage. Now, if they'd just stop telling us how awesome they are.

Oh excellent, I shall have to reprogram my buttons. :D

LOL Yeah The Lake is pretty full of itself.

That's one reason I'm glad for one of the stations around here. It's one of those "No DJs, just music" stations, and I couldn't be happier. While every other morning show is laughing at the fart jokes and "OMG, did you see [insert show] last night?!?" I have music.

We do have one station that does that, but they also mention, EVERY BREAK, about how awesome they are for doing so. It gets annoying, after a while.

Personally, I like having my mp3 player, or tapes. =D

I used my express hatred for morning shows to get out of bed in the morning. I have a radio alarm clock, so I'd use my "just SHUT UP ALREADY!" to get out of bed to slam the off button. I stopped doing this when I realized that stewing in rage that wasn't mitigated by morning coffee was probably bad for my mental state.

There's a station out here that does the "no DJs, 3 commercials every half hour/hour, just music" thing. It amuses me that they apologize for having to have those 3 commercials before they play them. And apparently they have this online app thing that lets listeners make the playlist. I'd look at it, but I'm too happy with my mp3s to care that much.
