Whilst listening online (via Windows MediaPlayer) to FoxFM out of
Melbourne, Australia (online themselves at http://www.fox.com.au/ for
the record) in recent days, I could not help but wonder myself:

Doesn't it sound so remarkably like WNNO-FM out of Wisconsin Dells, The
Unofficial Radio Station of the Water Capital, in terms of its approach,
style of announcer delivery and playlist?

(Considering especially the fact of WNNO-FM not currently available
"online" via either RealAudio or Windows MediaPlayer. Not to mention the
distance.)

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.

(For best results, I would suggest spending some time listening to FoxFM
off their website, at http://www.fox.com.au/ for the record. The live
feed uses Windows MediaPlayer to work properly, so make sure it's
installed on your computer first; if you don't have it yourself, you can
download it gratis right there at the website. Just make sure your
computer useth Windows95, Windows98 or WindowsNT as the operating
system; I'm not sure if such works well with Linux, MacOS or other
such.)

	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.

	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!
