How lucky you are to have actual DJs (live! local!). We have prefab (e.g. Clear Channel) stations for the most part - they (the stations) took a real shellacking recently with the power blackout because they'd jump to ABC News or CNN instead of sending reporters out into the neighborhoods to report the local news. Their spokesperson got into a brouhaha with the dean of Syracuse University's journalism school, telling the dean he didn't know diddly about reporting and he should stick to academics. Except this dean had better credentials than the guy criticizing him, heh heh. And ordinary citizens leapt to the dean's defence. The local Clear Channel stations are still licking their wounds.
Anyway, I'll be having my own personal Gordfest on the 17th of November.
