I heard that the only station whose call letters formed the unabbreviated name
of its location is KING, the NBC station in Seattle. (King County).

I know they had the template name before the call, but I would think
CYDR would be "Cider" or "The smashed Apple" before it would be
"The River".

My primary station is WOMC. They play a nice assortment of songs. I have
been known to be a horrible flipper, though.

What a wonderfull thing it is to have the receiver remote next to
me at the computer here. No station wants to pay just one or two
commercials, it has to be a 4-5minute commercial fest. Well, if they
have commercial breaks that are longer than tunes, I can always change
stations and get more tunes.
Ok, except at about 10 minutes before the hour, when all stations
go to their long set of commercials. Even WDET, NPR stops in that time
to give a thank you shout (commercial) to one of their sponsors.

A Prairie Home Companion is touring Scotland and Ireland, which might
interest a few of you. Tonight's broadcast is from Edinburgh, Scotland;
it will be repeated on WUOM at 1 pm Sunday. The March 4 broadcast
(Saturday at 6 pm) will be from Dublin, Ireland.

I also noticed a broadcast from Limerick, Ireland, on February 29, 2000. Any
idea if Michigan Radio plans to air it?

If it's part of "A Prairie Home Companion"'s regular series, they're planning
on airing it. Garrison Effing Keillor. The man blows his nose and public radio
listeners ooh and ahh about how whimsical it is. Yeah, don't think for a
second he'd do something like that without getting stateside mileage from it.
www.prairiehome.org should have more official information.

The website says that the Limerick show is not a broadcast.
It's being taped for an unspecified future date.

(I thought it odd that GK referenced buying football tickets during
this weekend's show.)

I have not been able to find much of interest on the radio lately, AT
ALL. Ive started listening to some Rap/Hip-Hop on the radio, but most
other stations have been rubbing me the wrong way. Im also pretty sure
that -hoe how much do you cost?- songs are gonna get old quick. My
presets are-
88.3 WCBN
88.7 CIMX
93.1 WDRQ
93.9 CIDR
94.7 WCSX
95.5
96.3 WPLT
97.9
99.5
105.1
105.9
106.7 WWWW

I drove thru Chicagoland last Saturday and stopped listening to
CD and tapes to listen to the radio. It was easy, my main pre-sets
worked for Chicago. Oldies 104.3 was still Oldies 104.3, but 101.9
was Classic Rock, not NPR-like. 105.1 was not "The Groove" at least
not as I could tell as it was neuvo _______, uno nuno ceico pointo uno,
and sounded like a broad range spanish station.
