Fox FM probably sounds so similar, because we play so much America overproduced garbage, rather than more Australian music. Also, the consultants hired, the software used to program it and the modelling for training are generally US based. : Perhaps the collective inspiration of Wisconsin Dells denziens every : summer as are well-acquainted with WNNO from their seemingly annual : pilgrimages Waar Die Pret Natuurlich Gekom (and have listened in to : FoxFM via the Internet) may be enough to discern things clearly enough. : However, having had some acquaintenance with WNNO-FM 106.9, I must : wonder if such sounds so remarkably similar. Well, that sez unto me, you be a taking toooo much acid. : : (For best results, I would suggest spending some time listening to FoxFM : off their website, at http://www.fox.com.au/ for the record.

Oh gosh, could we have mentioned Microsoft one more time, plugged another commercial website or possibly pushed the line any further? What a brochure! Microsoft mediaplayer, Windoze and NoT are BadThings(tm), along with commercial radio in general. Give me Linux, community radio and MP3's any day! Jack@!
