Louisville Radio Question

Hey All,

I've been away from Louisville for quite some time and was wondering how the market is sounding these days. Kind of hard to get a "feel" by just listening to web streams from time to time. Thanks.

Two words come to mind initially: "canned" and "bland". In my opinion, what you hear in Louisville is what you'd hear on most stations around the country. 90% of whats on the radio could be heard on national music services through cable or Dish Network or Sirius/XM. WAKY 103.5 (which isn't being streamed) is trying to live up to its heritage namesake with mostly local programming and playing local oldie hits like the Monarchs. WHAS is barely doing drive time local news programming, but otherwise its like any other ClearChannel news station. Some rimshot stations like WSLM 97.9 and WMMG 93.5 do local programming like Tradio!
 
I use to work at WMMG 93.5 several years ago doing tradio.

Gosh that was a job in itself.

However, the management was very flexable with me and actually let me have fun with the station.

A country radio station playing def leppard, billy joel, commodores and other 80s songs on the weekends was a sure blast.

I remember that-- it sounded fun as a listener.
