Face it. Cleveland radio sucks. When WMMS was sold a couple of years ago
they fired Jeff and Flash, supposedly to a more modern and exciting
format. Now take a listen. Brian and Joe playing classic rock sound
amazingly like Jeff and Flash and the old 'MMS. Why did they fire the
old guys ?

It's so exciting! (Sarcasm intended) Now we can listen to the same old
dinosaur rock on 97.5, 98.5, and 100.7. COME-ON PEOPLE ! Quit listening
to the same, old, tired, music. I've gotta wonder if the "classic-rock"
fans keep the same, old, tired books next to their bed and read them
over and over again? 

...Then there's Mike Trivasano spewing his racist crap. It's hard to
believe that he's still on the air. I've gotta believe he'd be off the
air in any large city.

There's one so called alternative station (The End) which is rapidly
becoming like 'MMS. 

Both 100.7 and 107.9 have some good female DJ's in the evening hours but
neither station has the courage to put them on during peak listening
hours. Of course, neither station has any black DJs to my knowledge.

There's almost no jazz radio play. CPN plays more gypsy folk music than
jazz and seems to be phasing out any jazz programming.

The only creative programming that I hear is on the college radio
stations. Thank god for those or I would probably rip the radio out of
my car.

To sum up, Cleveland has the most pitiful radio programming of any city
I've lived in. Cleveland's radio is small minded, sexist, racist, and
very uncreative.
