Fuck You Clear Channel!!!!!!!
You come into Cleveland buy the most famous Rock station in the world WMMS 100.7 FM the home of rock and roll, Home of the Buzzard. The place where a dj as a lark put on Rod Stewart's Maggie May, stated the song would never sell and it became a classic instantly. The first station to play among others, Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell.
You buy them run them into the ground, then to just truly destroy one of Cleveland's most famous trademarks, the reason the Hall of Fame came to Cleveland, the station that made the North Coast Rock...... you change the call letters, get rid of any good DJ and put in bullshit Bob and Tom and other shit syndicated bullshit that we have on 25 other stations in the area and the internet and take the buzzard away?????? You just destroyed the heart of Cleveland, WMMS was Cleveland when there was nothing else there to root for. FUCK YOU CLEAR CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
What, did they just get to you? They've done this in every market I've been a listener, over the last five or ten years.
|
Yeah, Clear Channel has been the evil empire in music for a long time. I'm just looking for that thermal exhaust port to launch my torpedo into.

Viacom shit canned all the people at the 50s 60s 70s Oldies stations CBS101FM a year or so ago, rebranding it JACKFM which was the ipod shuffle format.
Sucked hard core. Then JACKFM couldn't sell advertising and they brought everyone back and reformatted it back to Oldies but changed to 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s. |
oh my, is that the same Jack FM that we have here in TO?
|
it's the same one leto... they are everywhere.
|
I guess they licensed the format and call....

Thanks for clearing up the mystery. For a minute, I thought Clear Channel had bought YOU. And then where would we get our patented PAN rants? :)

Once upon a time as a teen we listened to the radio because of the DJ's.... then it became "non-stop music and less talk" but you still had some type of DJ now...... now it's all AM if you want some hometown personality to talk and give some insight and even then it's rare. The only 24 hour station where all the personalities are pretty much live at that station is the great WLW 700 in Cincinatti.... and even then the Truckin Bozo, Burbank, and a few other syndicate their shows but use WLW as their home station.

Hmmmm that's not a bad idea...... "Pan's Patented Rants" on sale for negotiable prices, coming soon to a town near you. Has a certain ring and style to it. :thumbsup: But what if Clear Channel buys me? I can't say FUCK YOU Clear Channel!!!!! Naw, I like the idea of being free to say what I want and owing no one for anything except the Earth and God for allowing me life. |
Pan, I was about to prematurely submit to your wife last night, when she hung up on me to take your call. I think such poor treatment entitles me to a free "patented Pan rant." :)
My Clear Channel rant is that since the 2006 election results they have been systematically dropping progressive radio talk programs. They are slowly returning, because even CC knows the value of the advertising dollar they were bringing in. It's hard to make a buck with Women's College Volleyball on the radio. :orly: |

Clear Channel sucks ass. They are ruining radio. It's pretty much generic all over the US now because of those assholes.

yeah, out here in vancouver, we had an awesome rock station, 104.9 xfm. then suddenly, one christmas, it became all christmas songs. still held out hope, thinking they'd be back after the holidays.
but no. so now i will never listen to 104.9 clearfm |
if you're going to write an angry letter, address it to WMMS for selling out to Clear Channel
|
once they allowed mega companies like clear channel, cbs, cumulus, and others but more than one station on both the am and fm dials, this was bound to happen. it's all about the cash. that's why there is so much syndication out there! here in dallas, on the so called "alternative' rock station, there are a total of 4 live djs....it's all syndicated, as is the new/old eagle. it's just radio. i'm glad i got out a couple of years ago. just accept it and move on...nothing can be done because the companies are making a ton of cash. the days of wolfman jack are gone!!! DAMN IT!

Clear Channel and their stupidity gives me ongoing reason to keep my XM subscription active. Hopefully the proposed XM-Sirius merger (if it goes through) will cause minimal disruptions with one of the only good options left.

I don't know what you folks are complaining about. The free market always works in the best interests of the customer.
Wait, the advertisers are the customer? Shit. CC owns three stations in my area, and I only listen to the one that plays football games. I think I'm too young for this discussion. As long as I've been aware, radio has been crap. Really, though, It's all about CBC3 or MPR. They're clear channel free by definition. |

okay, need another reason not to listen to clear channel?
well here you go. List of songs deemed inappropriate by Clear Channel following the September 11, 2001 attacks such horrible anti American tunes such as The Animals, Everclear, Beastie Boys and Boston. |

A few years back, way out in this end of North Carolina, they got some stations and fucked them up real good, too. Now we've got Will FM in Myrtle Beach (SC) and Bob FM in Wilmington...
FFS, are you buying radio stations, or goddamn puppies? And the commercials?!?! "Bob bought a radio station, so he can play what he wants... which is whatever YOU want." Yeah, bullshit, dude. My iPod smokes yours and is commercial-free, so how 'bout I just listen to mine instead, mmmkay? That being said, I haven't listened to radio for years (save one rock station which has "Drunk Bitch Friday", because that's just funny). I *do* know that there's a pretty good college station back home, KEPC 89.7 in Colorado Springs. The DJs are painfully bad most days, but the music makes up for it. Matter of fact, they stream online... I'm off to find them again. |

RIP independant radio. Phoenix lost its last independent station about a year ago...funny that they kept the name ("The edge") and just lost the 'independant radio' tag. Quality seems to have gone down hill...they did let them keep some of their cooler shows, though.
|
well.. seems like Clear Channel had a setback in one major market the other day
