I still can't get it right, but in ny, I go for shorter since its expensive. You have to know the clipper number. But how can we remember such details in life? That is the question...

That's interesting about people choosing the Globe over satellite. I'm looking fwd to making the comparison.

Glad to hear other folks feel the same way about The Globe. I missed HFS in its prime, but from all I hear, its ability to mix great new and old stuff must have been amazing. That's one thing the Globe never seemed to have -- true, equal comfort with the present day -- and I wonder if that played a role. DCRTV's glances at the Arbitrons never showed a huge boost, but anecdotally, I felt the same thing you did. The station had my allegiance more than any station had in a while. Even if it wasn't totally satisfying, even if it had its weak points, it had me listening and wanting more. Raised my expectations. What they've done now, it can't possibly change ratings, not with Big 100 in town. It makes me wonder if they're buying time before a bigger format switch.

For the first time in years, we had a legit station, now we have yet another classic rock station to feed to boomers. Did they bother to validate their ratings? Everyone I know was presetting their dials to 94.7. Do they realize there is an entire generation of listeners in this area, raised on WHFS, that are craving good music? How many times can you listed to Freebird and Every Breath you take? Like HFS, they couldn't even man-up and admit it. Completely agree!
