Aw, damn, what am I going to listen to in the morning?

[pegkerr]

MPR's program The Morning Show is going off the air. After more than twenty-five years. I've been listening for close to twenty of them. I guess they have an excuse, because Tom Keith is retiring, but damn. The press release says that the program will replaced by programming that is consistent with the rest of the programming at the Current (the name of the station). Great. Don't count on me sticking around. I've never warmed up to the Current's programming, other than the Morning Show (which was a transplant from its original home on KSJN). I've also never quite forgiven the Current-KCMP for replacing my old college radio station, WCAL and kicking "Thistle and Shamrock" off the air.

So what the heck am I going to listen to now? I won't listen to commercial radio. After so many years of public radio, I can't bear the ads. I'd rather slit my own wrists than listen to Rob's preference, his odious sports radio KFAN. Testosterone-fueled primate posturing. UGH!!!

I'm so heart broken over it I think I'll have to never get up before 9am, so I can pretend I just missed it.
