I wouldn't make the blanket statement that V107.3 "is the way radio should be". Rather I would say there is room on the dial for a station of this nature, and I am "in their corner" and rooting for them. Here's a thought. There are people who listen to music and then there are "music people". The people, particularly those of the "Sheeple" variety, will consume what the "corporate-types" feed them. That doesn't make it necessarily bad, it just makes it generic and somewhat boring for the true "music people"... who are those whose interests in music are broader and more active. So a station live WNWV is for "music people". The business plan questions are ... Are there enough of them out there to grow a sizeable audience? Will they consistently listen to/support the station once they find out about it? I think they are in demographics that advertisers desire to reach.

Most people who are truly passionate about different types of music are not stuck listening to the radio anymore. They're listening to their iPod or to Pandora or something else where they get some input into what they get to hear. Why would you let someone else pick the music AND play commercials AND talk when you didn't care to hear it if you didn't have to?

Seems childish to call ANY music garbage-unless it's Yoko Ono perhaps. At least with CHR there's something amusing & has a beat, other than screeching, anemic white women & college-ie sounding multiply pierced, heavily tattooed guys sounding overly passionate about hating someone or something.
Is this the same Rizzo who was part of the Lanigan team in the '80s?VODood said:Nathan, don't be hatin' on Riz. Love Rizzo's show! I find myself switching between Lanigan and Riz. Partly b/c I know Riz and worked with him. But it's a good show. I've been a devoted Lanigan fan since I was 16 (1984) and even listened while working in Raleigh. I'd get to work early to listen to the stream.
Still luv ya though
Re: A Yoko fan
While acknowledging Yoko Ono's vocal weaknesses, I enjoy a number of her recordings. Some of the wild screaming stuff is good. "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking For Her Hand In The Snow)" which appeared on the B-Side of Lennon's "Cold Turkey" is one example. She has two legitimately good pop/rock songs... "Sisters O Sisters" is my favorite Yoko recording. The thinness problem she has with her voice is not present here, and the composition is a winning one. Then there's "Walking On Thin Ice", a minor hit that featured one of the last recorded performances by John Lennon on guitar. On the "Double Fantasy" album, listen to "Kiss, Kiss, Kiss". It's cool, with just a little touch of her avante-garde sound.
Now, if you want to call an artist "garbage", then I would suggest Jandek.

And don't forget "Yes I'm Your Angel" on the 'b' side of "Watching the Wheels". Another gem.
Re: More Yoko
The serene "Who Has Seen The Wind", the B-side of the great Lennon hit "Instant Karma", is another standout. Her singing leaves much to be desired, but the classically oriented musical composition enhanced by the instrumental performance makes this a pleasant winner. A simple little tune, recorded simply.
I re-listened to "Yes, I'm Your Angel" and noticing that it was derivative of old-style pop, made it seem like her attempt to write a Paul McCartney piece of similar nature, like "Honey Pie" and "Your Mother Should Know".
