KQMV November 11, 2012
By the time I recorded this aircheck, I had been using my Olympus recorder for some time, plugging one end of a chord into the headphone jack of whatever I was using and the other end into the mic jack of my recorder. I figured that doing the same thing with my computer would work,…

Is radio in a better position today than it was in the past?
This post appears to have been written in early November of 2018 for the Radio crytic, but never got posted up there. It seems to have held up well in the subsequent five and a half years, so with a few corrections, here it is. Also of note, there may only be one more post…

KQMV August 27, 2012
This aircheck is one of only 16 in my collection that I recorded on cassette, though I converted it to digital almost right away. The only reason I did that was because I had a bunch of cassettes from previous things that didn’t contain anything I wanted, so recorded over them. It’s not evident here,…

Questions I have surrounding the future of radio formats
We’re actually already getting down to the end of the posts I want to keep from the Radio Crytic. Part of the reason this post is late is because I didn’t really have a plan as to what I wanted to post today, so this evening I sat down to take a look at what…

KLSY August 16, 1996
Throughout most of my early remembered life, I always thought KLSY was the better of the two Adult Contemporary stations in Seattle, though I wouldn’t learn that term until I started following the radio industry in 2008. By that time, 92.5 had been Rhythmic AC for over two years. Today, I can’t find a station…

Seattle’s recent changes
Unlike my commentaries up until now, this one isn’t one that was planned in advance as a move from the Radio crytic, but a commentary on recent developments in the market I called home for 26 and a half years. Last week, Hubbard brought back country to their struggling AAA 98.9 KPNW, which had been…

WWKA February 23, 2017
When I got a CC Witness+ for Christmas in 2016, I figured I’d be doing a lot more recording with it than I have so far. I had actually asked for it the year before, but it wasn’t available. This was its first real test, as I asked my parents to take it on their…

Updated thoughts on iTunes Tagging
Unlike my posts here so far, this post will not be a direct copy of a Radio Crytic post with only a few minor edits, but rather an updated version of a page on that site. I can’t remember why I even went with a page for this content, but my guess is that because…

WNOW April 29, 2014
In 2009, CBS Radio kicked off the second CHR boom with the flip of talk station KLSX to a new Amp Radio brand. Ironically, that station was also the last of the Amp stations to go away, and after a few months as 97.1 Now, the station flipped to a simulcast of all news KNX.…

Looking at my favorite stations of 2017-18
The below post appeared on the Radio Crytic in early February 2019. This is also the review I referenced a couple weeks ago when talking about Y101 and its then recent flip to Classic Rock. Fortunately, WLOV is still around. I plan to do a couple of comparison listens of stations I’ve been listening to…
