Re: [IRCA] KGA degrade
Thanks for assuming all AM stations run bland, boring talk.... that's a mere
assumption and shows ya really don't like AM much and ar ejust grumpy HD and
other technology is ruining your precious hobby.
Why is it up to you to decide if downgrading WOWO or KGA is wrong? It's not.
Its up to the licensee and only the licensee. A downgrade of a 50KW station
isn't good for DX'ers.. tough s**t... radio stations werne't built for
DX';ers and that's not why they exsist. It's pure coincidence radio
stations can be "used" as a hobby, but we must get in step with the times
and take thigns as they happen....
You DX'ers need to stop acting and thinking like the broadcasting community
owes you something, it DOESN'T! Just because your favorite 50KW clear is
downgrading or the upgrad eof another radio station ruins a DX Channel,
doesn't mean it's the end of the world or life is unfair.
Get with the times, things arent like they used to be 20 years ago... nor
will they be.
Oh, the AM I manage isn't boring, bland talk.. we run a locally programmed,
hosted, produced and managed CLASSIC COUNTRY format!
