[BC] Goodbye Local Radio

[Steve]

Ah yes. I believe (I didn't check this out before replying) this is KLUV-FM's sister AM station. Runs off a computer in a little room at the KLUV studios. If you look at their stats and the TSL I just don't understand (well, yes I do and "airheads at the advertising agencies" comes to mind) why stations are bailing out of this format. BTW, stream didn't sound bad at all. Some artifacts but nice processing. Nice high and low end. Presley's The Wonder of You was playing and the bass came right on through.

How are things in my old stomping grounds? I was P.D. for WRR-FM in the 90's. We did well. They're in the bucket now. Couldn't happen to a nicer G.M. :) Glad to be out in the country and off I-30 and I-75 and 635. Sheeessh. What a mess.

  This past week I was back in Dallas, Texas for a three day workshop on  
  Gold-Line's new TEF25 (Time, Energy, Frequency) computer. When I was in Dallas  
  several years ago I got in the habit of listening to an oldies station KAAM-AM  
  770. 
   
  Since I came back to Chicago we have NO stations programming the music from  
  the 1940's 50's and 60's. (Not even 1690). Much to my surprise they now have  
  streaming audio at _www.kaamradio.com_ (http://www.kaamradio.com) !
   
  I have patched the computer audio to my old Western Electric relay  rack and 
  am feeding the speakers in my office! What an enjoyment for this old  guy!
