WYSP to become part of Infinity's Free FM

Penn Jillette so much better then David Lee Roth. Although I read David Lee Roth's book-and he is so much more than a rock star. He is surprisingly intelligent-and took his money and vacation time to visit a lot of primitive cultures. But I digress-we get Colin Quinn. Who is not so hot on the radio. Thank god I have sirius.

My friend read Tommy Lee's autobiography earlier this year, and it looked at turns atrocious and hysterical. There are large sections of it "written" by his penis, set apart by a different point size and font designed to resemble splooge. So wrong. So very, very wrong.

I am embarrassed to admit it...but I want the Tommy Lee book.

colin quinn???

the guy from that game show on MTV from the 80s or 90s? Doesn't he have an awful speaking voice?

My condolences.

since when did hearing people talk your ear off become more entertaining, fashionable, and profitable than 3- to 4-minute chunks of time called "songs"?
I've wondered that myself for a long time. Not that the medium isn't big enough to support a variety of formats, talk as well as music, but it seems like the music end is rapidly and unfortunately dissolving.
Although, for YSP, this doesn't seem like too extreme of a change. Back when Opie and Anthony were all big, the station had Howard in the morning followed up by them in the noon / afternoon stretch. It wasn't until midafternoon that the music started, and that was only on the days where a sporting event wasn't being covered that called for asinine pre-game babble and post-game wrapup in addition to gametime hooting and hollering. At its worst, that amounted to less than 10 hours of music per day...and that's not taking into account the extremely long commercial breaks they'd take. (Side note here — YSP was the station of choice among many of my grounds crew coworkers back when I was at Temple.)
I've often felt the same way about YSP as I do about the Philly Daily News...if it wasn't for sports, they wouldn't be nearly as prominent as they are.
But back to the music end of things, once this change fully kicks in next year, MMR will be the only non-public, non-college station in town playing (somewhat) current rock music during the day. Which I'm sure is great for their braggartness and ego, but still is a bummer for the rest of the city.

  I wonder if "Free FM" is a nod to the fact that the content, while bland and homogenized, is technically free? (That is, if you count a barrage of commercials and sponsorships as free.) As opposed to Stern's new satellite radio home, which gets the capitalism out of the way up front.

Down here in DC we're at least getting some homegrown talent taking over in the morning: The Sports Junkies. However, if you listened to the Don & Mike show yesterday, you'd know that the rest of the lineup for WJFK is going to be political talk. It's a shame that Infinity can't make more than one smart decision per region.
