Sadly, I need to find a new radio station. A couple weeks ago, one of the three morning DJs on K103 retired. This has been my radio station since I started my present job, over 7 years ago. They've had the same morning crew that entire time, I think. So I knew when he retired and was replaced, there'd be a change in dynamic, and I figured I'd give the new guy some time and try to get used to him.
Um. Right. Two weeks later, I don't want to get used to him. I want them to kick him out and try again. Time to find a new radio station. This guy has a voice I personally find irritating - he always sounds just a little sly to me. And he likes to read emails on the air, mostly ones about how nifty he is. Okay, whatever. And his banter is not that amusing but it isn't horrid, either. And he reads the occasional forwarded email lists on the air - you know, the kind that when your friends forward them to you, you delete them because you've heard them 40 million times. Unfortunately, to "delete" them when being read aloud on the air, means switching stations or going to CD - not handy if I'm waiting for traffic.
Now, most mornings, I find myself waiting for the traffic report, then turning on a CD because I don't want to listen to the radio. I'd personally rather have a radio station I can stand to listen to, where I'm not praying the DJs won't speak until they do the bloody traffic. I don't care for news radio, so now I have to find a station where the people don't irritate me (I don't care if they fail to amuse me, I guess), the music is decent, and they do useful traffic reports. This is harder than you would think.
The afternoon show is still fine, but...there has to be a station that won't irritate me on the way to work every morning. It's getting old.
