Seriously, what is the allure of R & B? There is/was this weird AL addiction to them, like they are the poster boys
of progressive radio for the state or what? To me, regardless of their politics, they drag it on and on. The last time I
tried to listen to them was in Birmingham in a five minute span, someone on that show said "you know" between almost
every other word. If that's as good as radio is in 2007, just turn all the transmitters off and save the energy.
I wanted to throw the radio the window out onto I-65. My friend, who was driving, and an admitted redneck
himself, couldn't take it. I love "Freebird" as much as any other Southerner, but WHY, seriously, make that HOW
do people listen to this?

Who really knows for sure...but I imagine theres a nice parallel between their listeners, the people who mobbed Nick Saban's plane as it first landed in Alabama, and all of those Elvis albums and memorabilia that still get sold. People here are pretty easily entertained.

What should happen is they should change 98.7's format to Jazz. Simply because this area has enough country stations.

Excuse you? HOT 104 never ran a Jazz show.

You know, you might be right. Hot 104 was such a forgettable station that I have no idea what they played. I remember Wizard 104, WGCX, the Dawg, K-104, and Star 104. Star 104 carried "Catt's Sunday Brunch" Jazz show for several years. It was quite irritating to turn on the radio on Sunday and hear jazz instead of that way cool 80's music.

HOT 104, under Ted Striker, was a solid radio station and was making gains on WABB, before Ivan.

After Ivan, Cumulus didn't want to put forth the effort. Sad, disappointing, and true.
