Fantastic word game

Perhaps both dmargalotti and mrs. dmargalotti will write a book someday about their Twelve Days Of Darkness (or TDOD as it might be known).
 
Their Twelve Days Of Darkness (or TDOD as it might be known) was actually 13 but all that is behind us now and because we have electricity once again, I spent this past weekend putting up Christmas lights and decorations.
 
The year 'round playlist on your local AC station currently in holiday mode could be found on its HD-2 channel, provided they have one.
 
They have one of those HD channel things on a lot of stations in New York City but I have yet to meet anyone that actually has an HD radio so I'm guessing that a Dave & Kenny Rockfest at Illusions probably pulls in more listeners.
 
Listeners of '50s-'60s oldies music are likely enjoying one of many station choices available through the internet, satellite radio, Music Choice, and HD Radio, since the format is nearly nonexistent now on traditional terrestrial radio.
 
Terrestrial radio is hardly "nonexistent" as our friend scanman1 would like us all to believe.

I can assure you radio is alive and well in the NYC area and in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, radio listenership spiked to all time highs. 92 percent of the country still listeners to radio on a regular basis and as long as it's free and portable, it will always play a role in the ever widening field of entertainment choices on the market.
 
He is a radio professional, and while we are on the topic of professionals in other areas, believe in Santa Claus, but please remember that the brighter the lights on the outside the safer you will be on the inside.

I can't believe you did that WMC.

Okay, kids, the fun department has a few security tips for the real world, to add to Darth_vader's cyber security tips:

1. Lights on the outside are great, especially when you keep the drapes closed at night. I am going nuts over the lack of common sense some people have when they show off to all the burglars in a depression, by turning on every light in the house and keeping the drapes open, because it's just so beautiful!

2. When you go shopping, don't stick the bags and boxes and other goodies in the back seat for all the thieves to enjoy. Put them in the trunk before you head to your next stop.

3. Pay attention to your surroundings at all times. You never know who may be bent on follering you around, especially if you stand out and they don't, and they happen to be burglarizing places along your routes, or casing for someone else to do the thievin', while they cruise and listen to their favorite girl on the radio.
 
Cold and stuff is a clue that is nearly impossible to deal with, except to say that in the wintertime that is pretty much what we have.

WMC, I did that whole post thingy, and when I clicked "Post", a new reply had been made. 8)
 
We have to come to some sort of arrangement, Miss Silkie, so that one someone is in the process of writing a contribution, we need to yell out "Ollie Ollie Umfree" or something like that so that the rest of us know that someone else is about to beat everyone else to the punch.

So sorry about beating you.

Ollie Ollie Umfree!!!
 
The very, very, very pickled herring here is when I've posted a clue and get a response based on my post being misunderstood.

That's not what I was actually saying, that nobody listens to terrestrial radio (although, if I were to base my opinion on how I observe my friends and coworkers getting their audio entertainment, traditional terrestrial radio might as well be non existent). I was referring specifically to '50s and '60s oldies formats being unavailable on terrestrial radio. How many oldies formats do you know of still exist, including in New York City? Answer: Very few. Even the beloved 101.1 WCBS-FM no longer plays '50s songs and barely plays any '60s songs. I happen to love the music of the '50s and '60s and get the oldies formats from alternative sources, since traditional radio considers oldies "too old" for a music format (most of the demo will be over age 55 and I do realize advertisers don't like that). I will agree traditional radio needs to be available for emergencies (AM band works best for this) since internet and cell networks could easily go down while a single high powered AM station could provide emergency info for the whole country.
 
Being misunderstood about what scanman1 said about terrestrial radio is not the case for me.

The Oldies format is going away in many markets, but is still going strong in a few markets like Los Angeles as in KRTH, which is still very popular there, Here in Fresno Ca an AM KYNO 1430 started doing oldies from the mid 50s -early 70s , all of the number one hits that were popular on KYNO back in the day when they were BOSS RADIO KYNO, they are using the original jingles and all, we will see how that goes, and they will be streaming soon.
 
The case for me is I love oldies and will get them wherever I can!

I'm going to add KYNO to my list of stations to check out, as soon as it's available on the internet. Thanks for the heads up! 8)
 
Rain is gone for now but we're supposed to get a rain/snow mix this afternoon but, last I heard, it won't amount to much.
 
It won't amount to much but I do realize now in looking back that I did indeed misunderstand what scanman1 posted yesterday in regards to terrestrial radio and now that we've got that out of the way I do believe it's time for Phil Collins and the guys in Genesis to play their hit song from 1980, Misunderstanding.
