Small Market Morning Shows

[Monja]

What is the best Small Market (Mom & Pop) Morning Shows?

 

[Zur]

Ahhhhh I'm not sure if they exist anymore, they all run syndicated shows instead. If we could only just go back to the non deregulation days......wouldn't that be nice. That's when we had good small market shows. Well it's nice to complain, but it's not going back to that.

The new Fox 28 morning news show isn't bad, but nothing like the old days.

Fox 28? Where is THAT on the radio dial? Come on kids. This is RADIO-INFO.

It says in the rule, TV can be talked about where applicable. I spend all my time with KCJJ in the mornings.

Which makes me think about this. Does the FCC even pay attention to the small mom and pop stations?

It appears air talent have started to go blue again; except they are now using obvious coded references.

Here are a list of words I hope the FCC would consider for possible fine infractions.

- Toe Box
- Loose Slots
- Stimulator Tip
- Shitzu
- coccyx
- dongle
- penal
- pianist
- Titicaca
- titmouse
- Uranus
- uvula

and

South Johnson

I think there are more local morning shows than you are giving credit for. We have two stations and both do local shows in the AM

SW Iowa is a radio black hole.

Obviously your knowledge of broadcasting is limited. Would it be possible for you at some point to actually contribute to the discussion, rather than waste band space?

SW Iowa Radio

While I may not know as much as you do about radio, I do know that there were way too many country stations and REALLY conservative talk stations in SW Iowa when I lived there. It was like pulling teeth to find a modern rock & roll, hip-hop, or talk station that doesn't have some right-wing nut job on the air at least at some point during the day. I really wish SW Iowa stations would embrace a more modern manner of programming. Even if you did find a decent non-country, non-hyper conservative station, you would lose the station each time you went down south Western Hills (even within 30 miles of CB/Omaha at times). SW Iowa stations could cover HS sports, music concerts, and even academic bowl competitions, hospital admissions & discharges, & funerals fairly well, but that was about it.When I was a kid, KXKT the Cat -- Meow, Meow, Meow -- was about as good as it ever got for SW Iowa radio, and I don't think it was even in Iowa. Then, the station sadly went to country. The River wasn't bad, and there was another decent station on the rumbling low end of the FM dial out of St. Joseph, MO, but neither were the Cat. Occasionally, a little salvation could come from a strong BUZZ signal out of Kansas City, but those occurrences were few and far between.
