I Lied......Bought Another Radio
#10

The labeling of radio dials with cities seems very strange these days with all the bizarre call letter, frequency and even city changes, from someone who worked in the industry
for 44 years I have seen it all (far more than I ever wanted to see) When money people replaced dedicated broadcasters they started to kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
I still love the Packard Bell radios with the call letters on the dial....these days you would need a new dial glass every six months or sooner with the idiotic parking of call letters
for sometimes only days at a time. The FCC is to blame for allowing it but I suppose it must be because of fear of the source of all evil in the world... a law suit by the scumbag loy-ers
as Michael Savage would say.
