Hey. It's time I put this where it ought to be. Earlier, I mentioned such stations such as ACB Mainstream, The Global Voice, and a fiew others that repeat their programming. But the primary gripe is this: ACB Radio Main does three hour shifts of the same programs, day in and day out. Now what kind of crap is that? And how recent is the stuff?
how many people listen that much that they would notice ?
I understand burnout but the average radio listener isn't a radio geek.
I don't like that station. All programs rotate, nothing is original untik a new day.
Untick?
I have not listened to the ACB radios, but I do know there are a lot of Internet streams that repeat, so if you listen at work you can hear what you missed when gone. The Tom Leykis show on BlowMeUpTom.com is one such example, though in most workplaces a set of headphones is a must on that one.
What I think is stupid are any sort of Internet streams who try and remain all Nanny State and sanitized as though the FCC had authority over them. We came to the stream on the Internet for a reason. If people want to have their butt wiped, they'd pull the old radio out of the trash can where it belongs, dust it off and listen to whatever is local.
But streams repeat because you might have missed. The stream I know that doesn't is the live Twit.TV stream where you hear everything as they're making it. TuneIn is wonderful. But I refuse to listen to any online stream that plays Nanny State as though the FCC were looking over their shoulder. Hopefully this ACB Radio streams aren't that way. Why be on the Internet if you're going to just behave like you were a corporate puke subject to shareholders and threatened by the FCC? Makes as much sense as a 14.4 modem hooked up to an iPhone.
