On The Radio

For the Clevelanders....I know I've spoken with a lot of you about this, but isn't it strange that there isn't any good radio in Cleveland? Sure, if you do a lot of skipping, there are moments when you find a great song and have a glimmer of hope and then the millionth Lincoln Park song comes on and all hopes are dashed. Clear Channel pretty much has a monopoly on the airwaves. Then, one day a friend told me about this station that randomly started coming in. I looked at the dial and saw 93.9. 93.9....hmm....do they call this station "The River" I asked my cohorts, and soon after my suspicions were confirmed. This was the station from Windsor (yes, in good ole Canada)/Detroit that I'd been listening to over the summer. This station is not owned by Clear Channel and has more freedom in what it plays. They actually mean it when they say they play a mix. One minute will be something from The Cure, next Arcade Fire, The White Stripes (and of course some of the more popular stuff like that Bubbly song that is all over the place right now, but I will forgive them for this). The next time you try this terrestrial radio thing in Cleveland, I suggest trying this station out.
