Okay...The only times I've gotten involved in people taking shots at others because of their posts is to say, "If you don't like the poster or what he or she says, don't read."
However, anyone who somewhat regularly checks these boards knows what time the Radio Racket airs. This thread is TOTALLY unnecessary.

At the request of the management, I have promised not to respond to any of Julius' posts. So, I will respond to yours.DERadio said:Okay...The only times I've gotten involved in people taking shots at others because of their posts is to say, "If you don't like the poster or what he or she says, don't read."

The show is always breaking streaming records, or so the hosts say... That said, this thread is akin to reminding listeners that Stern is live right now on Howard 100.
Why did I know I would wake up to this today???
I agree. This thread was, and is, not necessary.
Julius was just very excited about the show last night. We had 2 big guests and he got a little overly excited and started this thread.
Ultimately, I don't think anyone was harmed (animals or otherwise) becuase of this thread, so please just let it be.
First off, thanks for listening Frasier. We appreciate it!!
The few times we have mentioned about "breaking a record", it has been our own show's record, nothing more. We're very proud to see the hit meter grow, and sorry if we gloat about it for a little while. We broke our record just minutes into last night's show, and we held more than half of that audience the entire show, which went to 4am, 6 hours later. Thanks to all of you that help us do that, and tell a friend!

Let me offer a gentle reminder that as long as a post is relevant to the Philadelphia radio market and the poster doesn't violate our TOS (spamming, personal attacks et al)...it's welcome on this board.
Let me also remind everyone that not every person visiting the Phillie boards is a long time user. We need to remember that an increasing number of new users are just discovering this place many of you call home. These new users may not know about Radio Racket. Let's welcome everyone and try to keep in mind there's room for a wide range of users.

Julius Was Right
Friday afternoon and evening I listened to XM Radio's (60s on Six) five hour tribute/recreation of the great Top 40 station CKLW (Windsor, Detroit, Toledo) and then heard the Jim Nettleton WFIL aircheck which were streamed before the Radio Racket program.
The difference was striking and confirms what Julius and others have been saying all along about Philadelphia radio. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be: Philadelphia radio is dull, copy-cat, low energy and uninspiring. CKLW, The Big 8, had movement, passion, creativity, drive, originality: all the things Philadelphia's Top 40 stations lacked. WIBG and WFIL by comparison had good voices, good production but no heart, no soul and nothing really to distinguish them from a hundred others.
Everybody feels a certain emotional tug for the station and the music "you grew up with." Hometown pride is understandable. But Philadelphia radio was short-changing its listeners even then.
XM Radio salutes a different Top 40 station each Friday (4pm to 9pm). But few were ever as great as CKLW, or the other legendary Detroit Top 40 stations, 12-70 WXYZ, Radio 15 WJBK, and WKNR Keener 13. Besides Top 40 and into the 70s, Detroit also had as its number station WJR, a station with live booth announcers, a station orchestra and male and female vocalists doing daily live shows, a daily documentary series, a daily instructional program in classical music, and a live talk/interview show with a studio audience. Before Top 40 radio, one Detroit station also gave the US The Green Hornet, Sergeant Preston and The Lone Ranger. In some radio markets the magic happens. In others, it doesn't.
