Even when firing on three cylinders, OTH is so much more intelligent (and funnier) than anything offered by Gary and the Null Set, they're not even in the same radio universe.<br /><br />Peter Bochan's work (available elsewhere), and pretty much anything touched by Max Schmid, remain highlights that will be missed when the station goes dark, or when the remaining actual talent is forced out, whichever comes first.

That was long ago—it has been defanged by unprincipled users; few will even notice when that plug is pulled.Chris Albertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056345320709233401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-10094345759145883982014-09-04T09:37:15.451-04:002014-09-04T09:37:15.451-04:00Well, Logan, we know that the station has long sin...Well, Logan, we know that the station has long since ceased to be a significant voice. There are a couple of exceptions on its air today, but, most of the people dishing out these awful programs have no pride in their work and demonstrate---sometimes by just being there—an utter disrespect for the listeners, real and imagined.<br /><br />The program content and general attitude has already degraded to such an extent that any degradation of the transmitted signal would not be of any consequence.Chris Albertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056345320709233401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-79572249553924795042014-09-04T09:12:31.474-04:002014-09-04T09:12:31.474-04:00Yes.

The dummies they have for listeners wouldn't have the brains to contact the Brooklyn or Manhattan district attorneys, let alone send a letter contesting their license renewal to the FCC. In the "old days" I would have added contacting The Village Voice. However, that's a joke now.<br /><br />Ironic Reimers is an accountant, isn't it?<br /><br />SDLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-90359199492650823932014-09-04T09:05:51.833-04:002014-09-04T09:05:51.833-04:00Heard some unknown host talking about how BAI'...Heard some unknown host talking about how BAI's signal may degrade with the transmitter move. Or that it might improve. There's no way to tell. But, please don't worry about it.<br /><br />How long can Amateur Hour possibly go on, before it's lights out/radio silence for good?

I wonder if having lost the overwhelming majority of their listeners isn't turning out to be an advantage, at least in this case. It reduces the odds favoring legal complaint.Chris Albertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056345320709233401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-85774834528634876632014-09-03T23:06:01.075-04:002014-09-03T23:06:01.075-04:00I want to see an court ordered, independent, profe...I want to see an court ordered, independent, professional firm come in and do an audit.<br /><br />How can a budget for a pack of retards playing radio be so damn complicated. Sorry to burst any bubbles, but WBAI is amateur hour even compared to small college stations. I bet WFMU doesn't have a mess like these clowns, let alone WFDU.<br /><br />SDLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
