@bobandrayfan1 I couldn't agree more. Radio plain sucks now. All syndicated voice tracked garbage with no local or live talent save for the big cities during the AM and PM drive. It's really sad what has happened to radio over the last 30 years.

000h, I miss seeing the 10 1/2 inch reel tape machines! And record turntables. Good Old Radio hath visual charms.
