- AND ANOTHER THING, WASH POST, BONNEVILLE…
I’m still mad about the half-assed attempt you guys made on Washington Post Radio. (See previous post for details and links.) In retrospect, it sounds like one of those enterprises nobody but the guys at the top wanted. And they didn’t want it enough. It sounded unfocused, and nobody got around to really troubleshooting. Putting [...]
- WASHINGTON POST RADIO; A JUNIOR HIGH TRY
Definitely not a college try. Bonneville, one of the better radio companies, and the Washington Post, one of the better newspapers, put together a radio station about 18 months ago in DC. WTWP was an attempt to bring the talent of the Post to the air on a daily basis. Next month the attempt ends, [...]
- AGING NPR
It’s been three years since National Public Radio attempted to drop-kick Bob Edwards, Morning Edition’s original voice, up to their atticus emeritus.

I’ve been trying, but it’s increasingly difficult to keep irony from dripping into my writing when I start a post for this site. In today’s radio trade news, one of the major stories is the introduction of ABC FM News, a new service of the radio network of, presumably, hourly or half-hourly newscasts to be [...]
- Want to talk about radio?
This is a Website about radio — radio broadcasting, that is, mainly in the United States. I’m a former U.S. radio professional. I’m writing, I hope, contemporary constructively critical and informative posts and opinions about radio. There are lots of sites about radio of one kind or another on the Web. what strikes me is, [...]
- Recommended: Pogue on Internet radio sets.
David Pogue, the New York Times’s reader-friendly techie, stays right out on the bleeding edge of technology, and makes it fun, without a whiff of cyber-snobbery. Radio fans ought to read his new group review of the latest in Internet radio sets, in which we learn that the experience is moving toward acceptability. Link: Pogue’s [...]
