WLSW morning show

Out in Westmoreland county yesterday the scan tuner stopped on "Music Power 104"... anybody know what that morning show is all about? It's a female host who rambles on and on and on and on, giving advice and opinions and talking about "cosmic awakenings." Just bizarre.

The best part was that she rambled on to about 10:06, mostly because she kept repeating herself, and said "Oh, they're gonna charge us. We only have until 10:00." That would lead me to believe that she's buying the time.

Then she and her male co-host, who sounded like he was having a hard time staying interested or awake, said they were headed down to a Mexican restaurant and that the listeners should stop by because the food was really good. But neither one of them could remember the name of the place. I am not making this up.

After that the station headed into music, playing tired old stuff like "Kyrie" by Mister Mister, no jocks, no imaging, just segue right into and out of the stopsets. And in a spot for a local chiropractor they pronounced sciatica as "sky-attica".

Years ago this was decent sounding operation. Now I can't imagine anyone listening to it on a regular basis.

Back before satellite radio when I used to have to drive all over Florida I would sometimes intentionally try to find the worst station I could find because I usually found it hilarious. This didn't have the comic-bad elements but it was close.

I have to confess to listening to their afternoon DJ, Jeff Gerard (I might be spelling that wrong). He is by no means a "high energy boss jock" but I generally find him entertaining and relatable or at least attempting to be. Should be doing mornings somewhere.

I take it from their website (which looks like somebody's Geocities page circa 1997) that they still have some of the oldies shows on the weekend. Any other Burgh stations carrying weekend shows from that bunch of oldies collectors? (WWCS, WKPA, WXVX, WESA, WPTS and probably others all did back in the '90s)

And would WLSW ever get their webstream back and running?

This is exactly why I do listen to it - because it's so random. Oh, and because they play some 80s songs that I never hear anywhere else.

Yes, it is. A little too random, I think, but I'm tired of what passes for mainstream radio thiese days, and quirky little stations interest me. Of course what I'd enjoy as a listener and what I'd program as a radio professional are two very different things.
