Radio shows you listened/listen too

I'm often on the road weekends so in that situation during football season I listen to Buckeye and Browns games while driving.

I started listening to Rush after clinton was elected, once again while on the road but stopped a few years before he died.

Now when driving I mainly listen to a few different rock stations.

Late at night I often listen to Coast to Coast but often fall asleep because I usually have to get up early.

I really haven't listed to broadcast radio in decades.

I think while driving would be a time one would want to listen. But in rural places often hard to get good reception of find good stations. Recorded audio would be better.

Joe Pine in the 60's along with The Breakfast Club out of Chicago. Clive Clifford on KAAY Little Rock, first AOR I ever experienced. Wolfman Jack, Casey Cassem, Early Imus when he was in California. Dr. Demento! Stern as much as I could take. The Motivational Radio Network in the 80's.

Translation: I don't have a radio because I don't have the money to buy one and I never learned to drive but that's OK because I surely can't afford a car, not even a fiat.

Years ago the popular radio show was Long John Knebel w/ Candy Jones overnight and I remember Larry King before he had a TV show on CNN

Felger and Mazz 98.5 Sports Talk Radio

I’m old but even I know “radio shows” are ancient history. The are some great podcasts. I like Adam Corolla and Joe Rohan. If not podcast then music on Pandora. I rarely even listen to “radio”.

I generally listen to 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston if I’m in the car.

Yeah I forgot to mention in the OP I’ve mostly switched over to podcasts. Most of the radio is trash.

Howard Stern

If I’m traveling at night during football/basketball season always listen to a college game.

If Howard is boring (which is often nowadays) I will listen to various stations on XM or sometimes Raw Dog which is a comedy channel.

I usually get my news from reading - not TV or radio.

I used to enjoy Opie and Anthony - as they had several comedians who I enjoyed - on the show. I was a fan of Jimmy Norton, and I am always surprised to see Jimmy on the Gutfeld show!

Howard Stern was edgy and funny - and a very good interviewer - back in the day. I don’t listen much anymore.

I used to listen to Bruce Williams. He was a call in show where people would ask for advice, usually financial or legal. After some time I could anticipate what Bruce would say. He'd often say to get a lawyer.

I listen and listened to lots of radio shows. Imus, Stern, more sports talk shows than I can count, and my favorite was always Paul Harvey.

Carol Miller on WPLJ in New York back in the late 70s / early 80s. As a kid I always listened to her radio show, but after meeting her briefly at some music event (I was about 12) she instantly replaced Ms. Conners (my middle school Art teacher) as the woman I was certain I'd marry someday. Lol. She's over 70 now, but her voice sounds the same so in my mind she's still that sexy little 20-something.

Casey Kasem... America’s top 40 ? Still enjoy listening to the old re- broadcasts of it on a FM station in southern California. 99.9 kola.

I liked the Wolfman, and Cousun Brucie was originally one of the Good Guys on Wabc radio.

As a teen in the 80s it was The Greaseman on DC/101 - he took over there after 101 fired Howard Stern. His show was mostly sex oriented consisting of sex jokes and people calling in and telling wild sex stories. Though he still played music and it wasn't an all-talk show.

As you all may suspect, this lib listens to NPR on the daily. There are two NPR stations in Seattle (of course). One is 94.9 KUOW, which is all news all day and has a national tone. The other is 88.5 KNKX, which serves a lot of little towns around washington and has a few NPR news hours throughout the day, plus a Jazz/Blues format the rest of the time. It also has a corny local news focus, which is somehow comforting to me. Either option goes well with the required daily dose of avocado toast and free range organic coffee, but I prefer KNKX.

I also have Sirius XM in my car, and love the BB King Blues Channel, esp when they are doing the really old fashioned stuff. They have a punk show on XM too, but it's all the most basic bro stuff so I don't usually stay there too long... how much green day followed by rancid followed by social distortion can you take?

How could I forget classic KING 98.1's morning show, I wake up to this every weekday morning. Their dorky "morning shot of musical espresso" bit where they play some sounds from a coffee shop and then hit you with some frenetic classical a-la Flight of the Bumblebee before retuning to soothing low intensity morning tunes always cracks me up!

I can't believe that no one has mentioned Rush Limbaugh. He was great in the early years.

^^ Yup. Still was great right up until the end.

Rush, Howard Stern, Terry Wogan, Don Imus

@crosscheck and @skibum +1 for 98.5 the Sports Hub. It's that or silence for me.

misterorange - thanks for those memories of Carol Miller! Her voice was great. Back in those days - it was rare to put a face to a voice - so you were a lucky young guy!

'I can't believe that no one has mentioned Rush Limbaugh.'

I mentioned him in the first post after Muddy started this thread.

Back in the late 70s and early 80s I listened to The Grease man in Jacksonville. His schtick was that he was a huge, fat, OTR truck driver. His humor was sexual, borderline racist and totally politically incorrect. It was also delivered with such innocence that he had a huge following among whites and blacks alike. He finally left Jax for Washington DC. I was in DC for some meetings and heard a familiar voice - Uncle Greasey himself. Unfortunately, that was also the day he went way to far with a "joke" that was in incredibly bad taste. In the DC environment, he was summarily canned.

The funny thing was, he was actually a tall, skinny, long haired nice guy.

Lately, I mostly keep my Sirius/XM radio tuned to Radio Margaritaville.
