As Eggs Danny Thomas sits on his glass coffee table in the nude, he rates Chicago's newer stations and wants the other Radio-Info.com members to give their grades too!
WIND: (B-) I absolutely can't stand all the right wing nuts, but as a station it sounds good. The imaging is tight and they are commited to local news and traffic. Almost doesn't sound like a syndicated station. Ed Vrdolyak and Ty Wansley would have been great as a local duo, but they wont have any local talkers on there.
WCPT: (B) Doesn't sound as good or as cohesive as WIND, and the left wing nuts are as brutal as the neo-cons on WIND. Also not being on 24 hours is a major problem. I still give them a higher grade because your guy hangs more to the left. (HEY, It's my report card, you'll get your turn)
WRLL: (C) If they were on FM they would get a higher grade, hec, if I could get them in without static I'd bump the grade up. Is Uncle Lar still on there?
NINE: (D) I don't find them as creative as they think they are. The new website looks good, but the music is just the same junk in a different package. Hint hint: tweek that playlist and make a run for XRT's listeners. And aren't we getting tired of all this "we play what we want" or "we play anything" or "whatever we want" junk.
ZONE: (F) LED ZEP, AC/DC, GUNS n' ROSES, SLIPKNOT!!! Awesome! Totally Awesome!!! And they wonder why nobody is listening.
LOOP: (Incomplete) They are still working on it so i'll wait until they are done. Let's see if Johnny and Pirannah are coming back too. I'll admit I was worried that Emmis was going to add KoRn, Mudvayne and stuff like that that. It would be murder for the LOOP. Don't want them turning into the ZONE. They should add more classic/active variety. Similar to what Emmis has done with Modern rock at sister station....
Q101: (B-) Shuffle is good, but they should throw in more newer stuff to make their aging audience a little hipper. People over 30 watch MTV too. They were this close to going all rap, and I bet they are glad MANCOW didn't jump ship. They made the right move during the bitter Q101/ZONE war. They knew that all that Aggressive rape-rock was on it's way out. Now let's not play Depeche Mode 30 times a day.
LA KALLE: (C) Yo prefiero Viva, pero la verdad es que "LA KALLE" no suena tan mal. Estan tocando Gwen Stefani y 50 CENT tambien. TRANSLATION: I prefered Viva, but these guys aren't too bad, it's not all-reggeaton, which I was fearing. If your into it, they do it right. (You were right David!)
JACK: (B-) They do what they do better than anybody. They are the standard in Variety Hits and occasionally they surprise you. LIKE RIGHT NOW -- PAT BENATAR, Awesome! Totally Awesome!!!
PASION: (D) Todas las canciones que yo no pude resistir en los ochentas. TRANSLATION: All the spanish slow jams I hated in the eighties. My papi loves it. Now that MAGIC 104.3 ain't around, this is all he listens to. Number one amongst middle aged Cubans!
O.K. Your turn. AND DON"T TEAR ME UP TOO BAD. Were all friends here.
