Strange Pre-Sets

MarcB

MarcB

My buddy has been driving his mom's Jeep Liberty for the past 4 days while he's getting the engine repaired/replaced in his Pontiac Grand Am. He was showing me the radio and his mom's got strange pre-sets.

FM.

1. WIHS 104.9
2. WWYZ 92.5
3. WZMX 93.7
4. WKSS 95.7
5. WTIC 96.5
6. WKCI 101.3

As for the AM she only has one preset set. Button #1 is WXCT 990. You see my buddy and his family are Sicilian and WXCT has the best Italian Show in Central Connecticut on Sundays from 830AM-1:00PM.
 
You are more obsessed with WXCT than I am with WNYZ.
Now I feel like making a post about how all my car radio presets are 87.7 when I had to jump start my car a few days ago.
 
As for myself I have all 12 FM and 6 AM programmmed, but I only usually listen to 4 of the FM and 2 of the AM.

FM-1

Button #1 WZMX 93.7
Button #2 WDRC 102.9

I listen to these 2 the most.

Button # 6 WZBG 97.3

I only listen to WZBG for the Sunday Morning Jazz Show.

FM-2

Button # 6 WPKT 90.5

For Car Talk and occasionally Food Schmooze and Prairie Home Companion

AM

Button # 1 WTIC 1080

For The Local News and Weather

Button # 2 WCBS 880

For The Yankees and if I want to know what's going on in NYC. (Note: For NYC News I prefer 1010 WINS, but because of that stupid 990 station 1010's reception is horrible).

2 990 references in as many posts and in the same thread? Couple that to the banality of this whole subject. Well done, we've sunk to a new low here.
 
Is this REALLY all that's going on in CT radio?
Come on.

How can you call 990 stupid when you know for a fact that it takes up presets 3 through 6 on your car's AM radio? (I'm willing to bet dollars over donuts that this is true.)

You lose that bet and I'll take a dozen Boston Cream Donuts Please. :)

Button #3 is WATR 1320 - For their music programming.

Button # 4 is WPOP 1410 - When I want to hear sports talk.

Button # 5 is WDRC 1360 - for Dr. Joy

Button # 6 is WLAT 910.
 
So Marc claims 990 is not currently on his AM presets, even though he admits to tuning them in regularly for their Italian music show on Sundays.

I'm doubling down.
 
Wow, who really cares? I mean, really??? But I suppose lists can be comforting to some types.

If anyone asked what my presets were, I'd say "quite well thought out, thank you".

Those are the presets on my car radio and I'm not in my car during the Italian Show. And even if I am button 6 is 910, so it's not hard to turn the nob 8 notches up to 990. :p
 
When I'm in CT this is my pre-sets
1) Hot 93.7 Hartford
2) Hot 97 New York
3) Power 105.1 New York
4) 107.5 WBLS New York
5) 94.3 WYBC New Haven
6) 98.7 Kiss-FM New York

Hip Hop and R&B in Southern Connecticut is Fantastic !!!!!

Amen to that.

Boring is as Boring does. Radio in this state is as boring as everything else in this state. Why do you think the TV News keeps reporting on that murder at UCONN that happened on SUNDAY, when they don't have any more information.

Oh, don't even go there man, that was horrible. It has nothing to do with your car radio presets.

I was going to say that instead of that throwaway line earlier, but you're spot on.

MarcB: Let's see you fill a 30-minute newscast on TV.

He certainly could fill two hours of airtime - isn't that right, Mr. "Jay Clark"? :D
 
On the Jeeps, Dodges, and Chysler radios where are all mostly the same as its all the same company. If you push the button a second time you would find more presets. Just to let ya know. So many in the Jeep Liberity their is a 2nd set of presets.
