D.T. Asks...(Sep 17)

Could Bobby Rich be returning to San Diego?

Will someone stop pledging money to XLNC-1 90.7 so it will finally go off the air and we can hear Pacifica Radio in SD?

Are there any truly funny morning radio shows originating from San Diego? I can't find any.

Is RadioGeek working for Emmis Broadcasting?

Clear Channel runs similar Hot A/C formats on 94.1 in SD and 104.3 in LA, yet, the one they run in Los Angeles sounds 10 times better than the one they're runnig in SD. Must be the nighly dance mix shows that put it way over the top. Why can't CCSD run a KBIG in SD?

When will KPRI, the former KCBQ-FM station that was once on another frequency in a past time, play the kind of adult rock mix that actually sounds like authentic KPRI progressive rock from the 60's through the 80's? If I want to listen to KIFM kind of mellow, I'll tune in 98.1 for authentic smooth jazz.

Why doesn't Club 9-3-3 at noon sound like authentic club music? Sounds like their regular format.

Why doesn't many of the better songs that appear on Clear Channel's KBIG and KIIS-FM in Los Angeles get played on any of the Clear Channel stations in San Diego? I thought they programmed cookie-cutter music. Is San Diego another country? Seems like it.

Is anyone sick and tired of reading about that KGB morning mouth at that other website? You won't read about it here. In fact, the website is not linked from here, unless the author shares other news with us on a regular basis.

Is Bryan Schock going the way of Muckley in real estate, leaving a position available for someone to better program 91X?

Will the LMA of 91X be the first to be sold by Clear Channel to another broadcaster? Will Jefferson-Pilot or John Lynch bite?

Why does the music on my own DFSX Comedy Radio sound better than the music heard on All Comedy Radio on KLSX and others? Has the definition of comedy on the radio been reduced to toilet humor?

Are there any longtime fans of hip hop and rap music that agree with me that the records for this genre sounded a lot better ten years ago than today's records Z90 is playing to death every two hours? Just because you repeat crap every two hours don't make it sound any better.

Why does the Union-Tribune's media hacks cover radio as if it was in a San Diego vacuum? Radio is global. We cover some of the world (and more if some of our readers send us hints); the newspaper that supposedly covers the world restricts itself to San Diego radio.

Why do classic rock radio stations never play any classic rock songs from the 90's and today? Classic rock is a genre, not a period piece.

Is there a clinic to treat addicted people who are too Hooked on Trivia(tm) to stop asking people trivia questions to strangers all the time?

Anyone care what Art Bell does anymore?

Why is there a lot of shows to listen to on Sunday nights on San Diego radio, yet there's hardly anything on the local dial worth turning off the TV set for to tune in, even though there's nothing much on the TV during the other six nights to watch anyway?

Note to KGB-FM: why not drop the boring morning talk show repeats, and get Bob and Tom and Dr. Demento on? They're better than what you're airing too many times a week.

Note to Star 100.7: The Star Zone on your website stinks! Why don't you get rid of it?!? I won't visit the website anymore.

When will 94/9 or 91X hire Tazy Phillipz so he can move his show from the 588 watt 92.1 so more San Diegans can hear his show? I prefer the radio station that is willing to stream the signal worldwide.

Who will win in a wrestling match? Steve West or Mike Halloran?

Anybody think that this "Queer Eye" parody thing is already yesterday's news?

Why doesn't AJ's Playhouse air any cartoons? I thought it was a kiddie host radio show.

When will Mojo release any new CDs?

When will 94/9 take some real chances and air music we never heard of more often than not?

Does anyone care if Radio Disney resurfaces on another stick in San Diego? Parents are relieved that the kids have no outlet to brainwash them into pestering their parents to take them to Disney theme parks and movies.
