What do you listen to in C-Bus

I listen to nothing over the air. Quit WOSU-AM when Tom Weebel retired. Quit WOSU-FM when they recently changed their format. Quit WTVN years ago due to the disruptive and annoying commercials. Gone forever as an over the air listener.

A few years ago I was selected by a ratings firm. Kept their dollar and sent back an empty book. It was truthful.

Get all I want and need from the internet and satellite.
 
Wow, even radio enthusiasts that frequent a radio industry message board have given up on radio. That's gotta be some kind of death knell for the radio industry.

Anyway here's what I listen to:

103.9 - Mark the Shark and Bob and Tom both (though Bob and Tom is pretty much banging the same drum day in and day out and it's starting to wear on me)
106.7 - Online and in the car both
90.5 - more for specialty shows than for the NPR network stuff
1460 - RARELY. I used to listen avidly. Mostly just for the Ken Hitchcock show anymore.
CD101 - Blue Jackets games only.
 
Wow, I guess you are all guys about 40?

I listen to:

p1. WNCI
p2. Hot 102 out of Dayton
p3. Radio 106.7
p4. Power 107
p5. 93-3 WLZT
p6 92.3 WCOL
p7 CD 101

No we're not 40, we're 87.  BTW, Why would a 17-year-old listen to 93.3?  Has Barry Manilow suddenly become the bees knees with you whipper-snapper younguns?
 
Well I'm soon to be 28 and I listen to WMNI AM. That caters to the 54 to dead group. Lots of ads for Assistance Living. They do air old radio dramas on Sundays.

Oh yeah! Love the Chick and Lisa is really special. And the Sunday drama's are awesome! Tomorrow night the twins are still in jail and the only way the warden will let them out is if they... Well, I don't have to tell you to tune in to hear the music of their lives.
 
Mix 97.1...When the Dayton stations bore me. Otherwise it's CDs and old tapes of Z-93 and KISS-FM(the old Columbus CHR, not the crappy little pea shooter that used to be on 94.5 in Dayton). ;D

Sorry. I just have to mention this. I've seen a few posts in different threads where folks mention listening to old tapes of stations they've enjoyed in the past. How often do you do that? I can't imagine myself ever listening to old tapes I made of radio stations.

I don't recall where I read this -- probably somewhere on Radio-Info. But recently a guy was talking about getting on a bus in NYC and hearing WCBS-FM being played, and they were actually using the term Oldies -- a word that they (and lots of other stations) banned awhile back. The guy soon discovered that what was playing was CBS-FM from 1998. Turns out the driver had a collection of old CBS-FM tapes and played them regularly.
 
I do that, too. I have tapes of the QFM96 Artist Profile from 1978 I still listen to.
 
There's only one thing to listen to in Colmanbus, SIRIUS!! No commercials!! 70-75 channels of any type of music, with no commercials!! 70-80 channels of everything else. Did I mention no commercials? And who can forget about channel 128.
 
p-1 106.7
p-2 88.7 RadioU (am I the only one?)
p-3 103.9 WTDA (mainly for Glenn, Shark, and JT the Brick)
p-4 CD 101


AM's

p-1 700 WLW (better than anything happening in Columbus)
p-2 1230 (mainly for Rome and maybe Quinn and Rose)
p-3 1460 (only for Cowherd and OSU Sports, local talent is awful)
p-4 610 (Glenn Beck, Sterling, Steve Cannon...oh, wait...)

Apparently so :D

I just think Columbus is such a desperately boring radio market...it is sad...I wish there was one listenable station, just ONE.
