Just Because We're A Radio Station

E

Element9

Doesn't mean we're allowed to have a good time...

Is there any radio station in Buffalo that seems to take itself more seriously than the Lake. Guys and lady: Lighten up. Have some fun. It's radio, not med school fer cryin' out loud. I know we've beaten the Lake upside the head in this forum, but being on vacation last week and hearing the station more than usual, I couldn't help but be struck by the "seriousness" of it all.

"We're all about the music," they say. Hey, memo to the Lake staff: Half the musicians and bands you play got into the business to get chicks and make some money because it was easier than moving furniture or working at the local foundry. And to have FUN doing it.

Hell, the guys on NPR sound like they're having a better time than the people on the Lake, who sound all serious and "into it" when they read those little liner notes after they play twelve in a row... because afterall, at the Lake, it's all about not limiting the music, it's about limiting the commercials.

Serious stuff.

Right after these commercials, we're going to do an appendectomy. You go on ahead. I'm gonna sit here and get my scalpel ready.
 
Huah!

That is so well said I can't improve on it! But is it really just "The Lake"? Most of radio seems this way these days.

I always know when I'm having fun. I get a memo telling me I am.

Naaah, that's an environmental protest post. We're all reading it with radio on the brain. One thing we forget...even radio people think about a lot of things besides radio most of the time.

Street thug? The guy's church people, a pillar of the community. Wife, kids, house in the suburbs.
