"Where did you go Mr. DJ? Why did they take you off the air?
Was it something that you said to the corporation guys upstairs? Couldn't be the pressure, you never sounded down. Couldn't be the ratings, you had the best in town. So I'm gonna find you, track you down, keep on searchin' around and around and around and around...
Are you listenin'? We're goin' around the dial..."
--the Kinks
I'm one of those people that will listen to almost anything, and I think that they'll find enough people that will listen to R&B backed up against hard rock, to last awhile. We'll see if they're still there in 5 years

The move stunned longtime listeners.
"I came home and I turned the radio on and it was not there," said Pamela Hall, who lives in the Bronx. "I thought I was going to faint . . . I really am sick. Part of my family is gone."
"This is the largest, the biggest abandonment of a loyal market segment in the history of New York radio," said listener Howard Bailen, of Manhasset, L.I. "I tuned in and heard a song you'd never hear on CBS. It's the last thing New York needs."
ok gotta run, time for breakfast..... i think i'm in the mood for some dry white toast... maye even chase it down with four fried chickens... and a coke of course.. :)
There are "Jack" stations in both LA and San Diego also. The LA station, 93FM, had CBS in its call letters too.
For me, that was Sam Riddle, The Real Don Steele, Robert W. Morgan and more.
Ha :)
A friend of mine who grew up in Chicago pointed out the building where Jake and Elwood went to pay the bill (when I went to visit him). He said the scene where Henry Gibson drives his car off a bridge was filmed at a "bridge to nowhere" in Milwaukee (abandoned highway project). The Blues bros. DVD (and a VH-1 special taken from the DVD extra part) talks
about where certain scenes were filmed--abandoned shopping mall, Lower Wacker Drive, etc. (btw much of the ill fated sequel Blues Bros 2000 was filmed in...Toronto.)
Great memories - thanks for the link. I'd almost forgotten about Charlie Tuna.
It is pretty funny to hear MC Hammer or something followed by Tom Petty or something like that.

They have shows archived so you can listen live or whenever online.
Their freeform is more a description of their scheduling these days, each DJ holds to a format that he designs.
I WISH satellite radio gave me THIS station.
Teenage Wasteland is good for new releases (mixed with all sorts of older music) and Fool's Paradise is good for 50s/60s r&r/r&b/oldies/novelty/blues and guests/interviews.
