fiogf49gjkf0d D.T. Ranting Out of Control (Jan 24, 2008)
Roger Hedgecock E-X-P-A-N-D-S!
Looks like he better stop eating at Kentucky Fried Chicken. He needs to get to a gym and loose some extra weight that he gained during the so-called holiday season of December.
Aside of that, beginning yesterday, his show expanded to four hours from 3-7pm. He focuses on conservative issues.
And Lee Hacksaw Hamilton is on opposite Roger on XTRA 1360 from 3-7pm. He talks about sports and that's it.
Ho hum. Too much repetetion of the same topics for repeated listening. Tom Leykis had it right by changing the topics every hour during that time span. Still no word whether Bob Bolinger, who's associated with KGB, cares to replace the worn out 100-song playlist of KGB from 3-7pm with Leykis's radio show. With the way Leykis had been bashing KGB when his show was once on in San Diego, I don't think that's going to happen.
Then again, I never listen to KGB anyway. Too much repetition of the same songs.
For classic rock, I can listen to XM channel 46 for a wide range of music that KGB doesn't even bother to touch. For new adult rock, nothing beats XM channel 40. For rock from the MTV era, there's XM channel 49. For classic modern rock, there's XM 44, Fred.
I have XM at home and I listen to 91X, 94/9, KPRI, Jack, and my MP3 collection in my car.
With the way KOGO, XTRA, and KGB are being run, Clear Channel San Diego still can't get it right. They continue to broadcast a lot of babbling and repetetion of their seven talk and music stations, most of which are not important to the tastes of San Diego.
The San Diego Reader has redesigned their website, and once again, Blurt continues to dwell in the doldrums of mediocrity as their freelance writers continue to post uninteresting articles about local music as if all we want to hear is alternative and rap music. When will the Blurt get a freelancer that's on the radio beat and can get a story right? I'd like to see some of the guys at Pirate Radio 96.9 submit some articles to Blurt and give us some inside news about the music scene that the freelancers just aren't touching.
Or Ugly Bob and the rest can submit them to me and I'll post them. Unlike the Reader, I don't make enough money from my website cluster to pay for articles as my Amazon affilliate program isn't bringing in enough money due to the recession.
Speaking of recession, when are we ever going to get to the root of the homeless problem and bring back rent control. Get those rental prices back down to $300 a month for the minimum wage earners without government subsides. Build smaller houses (one-story 700 cubic inch dwellings) on smaller lots. Help the lower class move into the middle class through employment programs that will help the employees on the lower range job skills transfer to jobs that pay more money. They already got the job experience; they need some help to get them the jobs to help them get off of the government dole, which costs everybody money.
What about those who bought an overpriced house in San Diego with a sub-prime loan two years ago, then lost their homes because their adjustable payments went through the roof and they can no longer afford the houses that are worth less than what they owe. This isn't fair to the buyer. Some kind of reform must be made to protect the buyers from this kind of upside down house worth horrors. What can be done about this? This is San Diego interfacing with Tijuana. Houses can't cost as high as those in Silicon Valley.
Now I'm seeing ads about the phone companies making fun of the cable companies with a story of the big bad wolf. The storyteller connects the cable complany to the big bad wolf by telling the story of the cable company that wants inside the house, and tells the customer that he's just a small monthly rate or something like it. The customer lets the cable company in, and soon, it becomes a cable company with a high monthly rate after the introductory rate ends. I know that AT&T is a company that I can't trust, and I don't do business with AT&T anymore. The cable companies, on the other hand, are also to blame for the practice of introductory low rates then raising them high. Who pays for the new customers who pay the low rates? I do with the high monthly rates that I have to pay. Cox, Time Warner, Comcast, and the others need to stop this deceiving practice once and for all.
Speaking of Cox, why can't we get Game Show Network and Boomerang on the analog tier. Put Ion on a lower channel number; channel 96 is always full of FM static and the channel is unwatchable. I never watch the shopping channels. The cable company still can't get it right! I never watch USA since all it runs is Law and Order reruns. Replace that channel with a Mexican soccer channel or something else I can watch.
