Radio Presets
I thought it might be interesting to let you all know what presets I have in my car. Actually, now that I see that thought typed out, it doesn't sound all that great, but let's just go with it.
In no particular order:
88.1 wnas--this is the New Albany high school station. Sounds crazy, but these kids pull off some great blocks of music every now and then. I've heard their radio set up is one of the best in the area, they claim to have 10,000 songs to pick from. I believe it too, there's no repetition here. They don't play new music, so you can hear some obscure bluegrass song then they'll follow it up with Motownphilly by Boyz 2 Men. This station is like a box of chocolates...
102.3 wxma--this is a Louisville station that plays 90's and today music in the top 40/adult contemporary categories. They're alright for playing at work since you won't hear any offensive lyrics and whatnot. This preset actually took the place of 100.5 which was one of those stations that didnt' have dj's, few commercials and lots of 80's music. It totally rocked, then somebody decided they should have dj's and I had to boycott it due to that being the main reason I liked the station.
107.7 wsfr--this is Louisville's main classic rock station. Nothing spectacular here, just your run of the mill classic rock station. Lots of Led, Pink Floyd, CCR, etc. Good times.
99.7 wdjx--they play "today's best music". I don't always aggree with that, but I don't say anything. Here is where you'll find top 40, whatever happens to be hot this week and some hip-hop...ad naseum.
98.9 wzkf--this is the station you want if want a good amount of hip-hop and rap. They also play whatever happens to be hot right now and they play it and play it and play it until I never want to hear the song again. You can almost tell what time it is based on what song is playing. I think I tune into this station once a week on my way into work just so I can stay on top of what's cool in music so I can talk to my sister about something.
105.1 wlrs--this is one of Louisville harder rock station. It's a good change of pace from the others. I like that they don't play Metallica every other song like the other rock station does. One can only hear "Enter Sandman" so many times in a 24 hour period.
So there you have it. Tell me what you think or what you listen to.

I didn't even know WLRS still existed. Growing up, it was LRS 102. You should have Louie FM 100.5. If I were you, I nix DJX and add Louie.

1. AM970 - Talk Radio. Bill Bennett in the mornings, Dave Ramsey and Mike Medved on the drive home.
2. AM840 - More talk radio.
3. AM1080 - More talk radio.
4. FM[xxx] - various local country stations.
I spend 90% of my time on #1, and distribute the remaining 10% among 2, 3, and 4.

My presets go:
(FM1)
92.5 - classic rawk
97.3 - buzz/"the x" style alterna-rock shit, used to have stern but now they are effed
102.7 - "the frog" - clear channel rock, used to focus on more traditional rawk but have had to incorporate more shit to keep market share from 97.3
103.9 - dayton clear channel equivalent of 97.3, only clear channel. best rock around but hardly comes in
104.7 - dayton clear channel equivalent of 102.7, only better than 102.7, but hardly comes in
(FM2)
103.3 and other indianiapolis miscelany
this is why i listen exclusively to mp3s.

I rarely listen to "music" on the radio...I usually just listen to my iPod.
What you said about WNAS is true. They were the first public high school in the country to have a radio/tv station. Radio was my favorite class in high school!
When I do listen to the radio it is usually either WHAS, because Francene is usually good for a few laughs when I'm on my way to school, or I listen to the station you have boycott'd.
