Favorite Radio Station
You forgot 92.5 & 93.3
Software only allows 20 choices, so I settled for the top 20 stations per arbitron as of 2/2008. Feel free to use your mod powers to swap out one of the ones at the bottom of the list if you feel something is needed.Quote:

Suprised that's not Arbitron top 20. Guess I'm gettin' old.
If I have to listen to FM, I'd go with 100.3 Jack FM.
Sirius/XM all the way!
Yep, Jack is one of my presets too. Just goes to show you that the average DFW listener has no clue. ;-)
My FM presets are -
- 92.5
- 93.3
- 97.1
- 100.3
- 102.1
- 105.7 (Russ Martin)
Also not on the list, 88.1 KNTU, jazz from the University of North Texas.
Russ Martin is off the air.Quote:

KRLD 1080AM for Traffic/Weather
The 12 O'Clock Flip Off is pretty funny too. :D
Really? Did he go to jail for beating up his girlfriend (or something like that)?Quote:

It is a sticky situation, as he is still under contract to 105.3. His choices are pretty much limited to:Quote:

d) Get another local station to pay big money to 105.3 to buy out his contract.
Option D is the best for us, but it is far from a sure thing. Right now, Russ seems content with option A.
KERA 90.1 I like to listen and scream out the window about the liberal Obama lovefest going on, He's going to save the world you know.
Felony charges dropped, misdemeanor charges still pending. 105.3 changed formats to sports talk and he is sitting at home until his contract runs out.Quote:

WTF did 105.3 change to sports? Wasn't 103.3 ESPN radio enough for the FM dial? And why isn't there a good Jazz station anymore on FM? I like some smooth jazz once in awhile and can't seem to find it anymore. Thank goodness I can still listen to eight or ten stations of lateeeno crap.
If a Mod can help, I am cool with killing:
KESS-FM (107.9)
KLNO-FM (94.1)
KLTY-FM (94.9)
so we can add:
KJKK-FM (100.3)
KZPS-FM (92.5)
KDBN-FM (93.3)
I don't think we need to add 105.3, as with Russ gone, nobody cares.
ESPN radio for me usually. Can't stand the pop music on Mix, Kiss FM and most of the newer rock on the EDGE sucks too. Or there's the ever popular Ipod option. Too bad there's no Pandora radio for cars.
Sirius!!!!!!!!!!
Bleh... The people talking on that station sound like they are on some heavy meds. Slow and drawn out.Quote:

I did like Pugs and Kelly, they left 105.3 and are now on 93.3 for the afternoon drive.Quote:

That was part of his charm. I'll agree that some of his/their stuff was way too childish and not very entertaining. Too many inside jokes as well.Quote:

I have never listened to Russ Martin. No reason why.
Dallas radio was the reason I got XM radio back in 2000. If I wanted to hear DJ's cutting up all morning long I would have found a talk radio station. If I want to hear country, rock, oldies, etc. I don't want to listen to 55 minutes of DJ chatter every hour. Give me the low down on the traffic every 10-15 minutes and start another cd spinning...
Russ is an ass but he does also do some good things = http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/spor...000_to_fal.php
Never said he did not do good things, His Foundation is amazing and he has for the most part always been great to the Emergency Services people.Quote:

Are you too far away to get the Denton station? I don't listen to it everyday, because (a) they don't seem to change their playlists often enough and (b) I have a 10 minute commute, but it's nice once in a while.Quote:

I'm an admitted Ticket junkie - a convert from Russ.
Other than that, Dallas radio sucks. I got Sirius so I could actually hear some new music once in a while.
You also left out 104.9... :D
We sure are a diverse bunch of TCB's

Thanks Darron65 and Cone-cerned, I'll see if I can get 88.1 next time I'm in the car. I think it may be a weak signal here in Allen.Quote:
