Latino Format



I don't know what you're saying and part of me is glad. In between songs that sound like my grandma's old polka records to songs that sound like my grandma's old polka records as played by a merry-go-round, there is a lot of yelling and sound clips all in Spanish. But since I don't understand a word I'm going to assuming it's as bad as telemundo. ..I'm sorry, I meant"TELEMUUUUUUUUDOOOOOOO!!!!"


Nation Public Radio



NPR gives you the best of both worlds. The relevant news that you could easily find in a myriad of other media outlets coupled with some of the most random and pointless news you'd swear they were making up as a joke. But they're not. And it's all thanks to "listeners like you...And a charitable donation from the CHUBB Group."


College Station DJ





This kid isn't even trying. I know this is a learning experience, but could you at least put forth a little effort, College DJ? Has anything ever gone right on your pretentious little shit show?


Air America DJ
Here's a clip from the latest Air America Show!




Urban/Hip Hop DJ's



For some reason this station keeps a bass line going in the background at ALL times. We don't know if it's a busted sequencer or what but weather, sports, and even traffic are all backed by the fattest of bass. For other some reason at least one if not both of the DJ's are always shouting.

The Morning Show

Rounding off our list is the most spent and overdone format of all, the Morning Radio Show. This is by far the saddest show anywhere on the dial, satellite or not. Morning radio is a seemingly endless and aimless bout of chatter. Even though the typical morning radio show is only billed as a 2-3 person format there is always roughly 7 to 9 people in the studio at any given time. This grouping is usually comprised of the following set of sad people:

1-2 Alpha types generally thought of as the "ring leader" of this merry band of morons.

1 side kick that's there merely to echo everything the alpha(s) say

1 producer who spent four years in college learning the craft of radio only to end up screening calls for the "Fart of the Day" contest

1 sad and utterly desperate intern usually reserved for bottom of the barrel antics like "Coming up next our Intern Scott drinks a shot glass of his own cum on the air. On the morning Mad House"

2-3 extra people that chime in every once in a while and you're not really sure if they are getting paid or even if they are supposed to be there. But there they are chiming in to remind the host(s) that it was Barry Williams that played Greg on the Brady Bunch or any other trivial odds and ends they feel compelled to chime in on.

great work. Morning radio is compiled of a room full of dorks with microphones. only reason people think the morning dj's are "cool" is because the morning dj's say they are. At home they are pathetic. Who wants to hear 2 to 5 lame ass people babble about current entertainment bullshit while the top 4 pop songs are in constant rotation?

listen to the radio anymore? My mom (yes I still live with my parents, fuck you for judging me) listens to morning talk radio RELIGIOUSLY. She even turns that shit on when she's at home on days off. Personally, I'd rather dangle my balls in a blender than listen to a group of downies discuss "how cute that movei was" for a fucking hour.

Ben FM in Philly is by far the gayest format in existence. Nothing but lame ass soft rock and self promoting commercials between every song with the J. Peterman guy from Seinfeld.

Bob, Frank, Jack - theres one in every city now.

Makes me want to rip my stereo out of the console and toss it on the interstate

Troy - you need some work

Muenster - Always solid

Jizz - how old are you? This is an adult website (sort of) And your mom listens to Janet and Nick in the morning right?, The fucking worst ever. Kill your mom while she's asleep and dump her body in a oil barrel filled with her and cement into the blackrock canal (Yes it's been done before with less than optimum results but i have a feeling it will work for you)

Anger R. - We have Jack in Buffalo, you get the feeling they are promoting themselves because nobody wants to advertise on their shit station, i don't think this format is going to last much longer, anywhere.

Conservative talk radio didn't even make the list. The writers of this article are obviously members of the "drive-by media".

Now, if you'll excuse me, there is more hilarity and high jinks to be enjoyed while listening to the Bob and Tom Show.

Would love the rock station here. Its basically all tool, all the time. Oh yea I forgot to mention they only play the most recent single, and thats only when they can find time between the 45 minutes of commercials. Radio is worthless, get an ipod or a MP3 disc player for your car. You can fit about 15 albums on a single MP3 cd.

Janet Snyder needs to be raped over a pinball machine (a la Jodie Foster) then disemboweled. It's not enough that her family is rediculously wealthy, she then has to rub it in our face by pulling strings to get a well-payed DJ job? She's a parasite to our society.

I'm only 18, which is adult (sort of).

It's astounding how terrible hip hop radio is. If they aren't shouting in-between songs they interrupt the currently playing song with random shouts of "Yeah!" and terrible mumbling. Then they add a horrific air raid siren to EVERY FUCKING SONG for some reason as well. I keep thinking the fucking Japanese are dive-bombing whenever I hear that shit. Fuck the radio.

Did you just say "well-payed DJ job" that's a paradox. You're showing your age.

And what the fuck job do you have at 18 where you can fuck off on the internet all day? It takes years of schooling and getting shit on by others to attain such a position. You should be doing manual labor you little fuck, now go get a landscaping job.
