The stress from the hurricane is over. So what if there was a stand-alone station that had people that knew our little market. Well known local radio voices. Who did not have to bow down to corporate directives. What if there was a radio station that actually had the opportunity to "break all rules for sound" and actually serve the listner? How about actually answering the phones? Clear Channel, Styles and Double O have their clusters, but they don't get it. Local radio can work, and our love for where we live will provide a service that other folks can't. Soapbox mode off.
