Well Pa_RoyDio. I do like many of the sites. Some are very pollished, But I will with hold my criyique untill the end of the string. I do feel that local content makes the site more of a web portal... I think as much local information as possible helps extend the reach of the station...Example .. radio news,,,, see the design of the new chamber building on our website. or
like i heard today on Sunny 105... Here is morning host Doc in his grass skirt...It can ad a visual quality to our medium.... Food for thought on a hot sumer day ... Remember folks drink lots of water....

But don't you think all the "Citadel" look alike, as do "Entercom"....etc.
Wait....lets not get to creative here. How 'bout for automated stations or "JACK" to take a picture of the monitor and put a face on it...now that's creative and funny!! Kind of like froggy....names the same, just different people who sound alike. (sorry I couldn't resist)
But seriously a good source is to go to Radio and Records web-site and go to the format you like (or any format) and check out the thousands of stations listed. I have seen many that really do look all the same, just add your format and pictures and it's done....."INSTANT WEB-SITE."
They probably pay some kid in high school to do them.

They give you all the information you'd need and want
about the station including staffers in non talent areas.
The KRZ site has some interesting drop downs too. Colorful.
The Magic site always reminded me of the Procul Harem song,
"A Whiter Shade of Pale".
Someone should think about designing a tribute website to
old time radio in this market.

Entercom, Citadel and Clear Channel all use "cookie cutter" sites. If you go to their corporate sites and find the links to the individual stations and compare websites that are all generally the same - right down to the logos. First Media Works is one company that provides a "package" for radio station groups so they can quickly launch the station's websites with a few template choices. There really isn't any originality design wise with any of the corporate owned station's websites. Out of all the media websites around here, I have to say the best one has to be (forgive the TV reference) wnep.com. It's fresh, constantly updated and isn't cookie cutter. Although the banner ads are annoying.

Everybody and his brother has a Hall Of Fame. Because Babe
Ruth is dead over 57 years, do we not cdelebrate his history
and accomplishments? There's a lot of rich history here. Do we
really want people to think that radio as it exists now is the
best we can do?

It was fun.; I cliked on that ear for an hour....
As for a web hall of fame.. thats a tough one so many to choose from. I cant make a decision....

But what type of corn was it? As you well know, Captain,
corn is a member of the grass family of plants. Worldwide, corn is primarily used as livestock feed. Major commercial types of corn in the United States include: dent corn, flint corn, sweet corn, and popcorn. Specialty corns grown commercially in the United States include waxy corn, high-amylose corn, high-oil corn, and high-lysine corn.
Dent Corn - Dent corn is the most important commercial type of corn grown in the United States. The kernel of dent corn forms a dent on the crown of the kernel at maturity. Dent corn is predominantly white or yellow.
Sweet Corn - Sweet corn is grown almost exclusively for human consumption, either as a fresh product or a processed product. The endosperm (storage area) of the sweet corn kernel accumulates more sugar than that of a dent corn kernel.
Popcorn - The Native Americans brought popped corn to the first Thanksgiving dinner with the Pilgrims. Each kernel of popcorn contains a small drop of water. This drop of water is stored inside a circle of soft starch and a hard outer layer covers the kernel. As the kernel is heated, the water begins to expand. The expanding water builds pressure against the hard outer surface of the kernel, which eventually gives way. As the outer layer explodes, the soft starch circle inside the kernel inflates and bursts - turning the kernel of popcorn inside out. The drop of water is released as steam. There are 3 main types of popcorn kernels - white, small yellow, and large yellow. White popcorn kernels are shaped like grains of rice while yellow popcorn kernels are shaped like pearls.
Flint Corn - Flint corn has a soft, starch endosperm completely surrounded by a hard outer layer.
Waxy Corn - Waxy corn is a specialty corn that was found in China in 1908. This corn contains 100% of a form of starch where dent corn does not contain as much of this one kind of starch. The cornstarch from waxy corn is used as a stabilizer or thickener by the food industry and as an adhesive in the paper industry.
High-Amylose Corn - This is another specialty corn, producing kernels with an amylose content higher than 50%. This starch is used in textiles, candies, and adhesives.
High-Oil Corn - High-Oil corn contains 7-8% oil, 2-3% more than dent corn. High-oil corn also has enhanced protein quality and quantity.
High-Lysine Corn - High-lysine corn contains increased levels of 2 amino acids that are essential in the diet of non-ruminant animals, such as swine. The 2 amino acids are lysine and tryptophane.
