i used to listen to kwod way back. at some point their morning program was pretty much the same playlist and order every single day. the same songs at the same times... it sucked.

I had a friend who's dad was high up at 93/98 Rock, and I'd hear stories like that from him from all over the country.
It happens, esp. when the big compaines like Clear Channel come in. It sucks *****.

I talked to Nick Monroe and he said he had an idea they were about to get ****canned but it was pretty damn sudden.
I'm not friends with Nick but he's a good guy and nowhere near the ******* he played on KWOD. I know him because he bought into the same Beach Hut Deli restaurant me and my family bought into. His restaurant is off J st where the old "True Love" café used to be. You see some short, balding guy with a heavy accent making your sandwich and that's him.

just got back from lunch. i think nick was there, it was a bald short guy but he didn't say anything so i can't say for sure. awesome food. the person in charge of hiring has very discriminating taste as well.

KWOD started going downhill after they fired Nick the first time..early 90's...tried it again the other day & kinda like it.
Nick is a funny guy...rode up with him to Kirkwood for a KWOD day in the snow.
That ****er can drink.

Because they serve beer in there he's had a problem with younger kids asking for some. Sucks because these kids think they have some sort of connection to him when he just wants to make the restaurant work.

My biggest grip with 2.0 is the stupid RDS tags the use. Instead of "<artist> - <track>" it's "Now playing on KWOD 2.0 Radio without rules <artist> - <track>"
