A station from my youth sort of half-returns

Today at noon, a radio station I remember from around the time I was in junior high sort of half-returned - in name, at least - after a 21-year hiatus. It wasn't WCLU, I'm afraid, but at least it's a station I listened to occasionally back then.

Remember 96 Rock? It was a station in Cincinnati that (as the name implies) played rock music. Now this name has reappeared on its old frequency. The new 96 Rock launched today with Metallica's "Enter Sandman", followed by newer music that I didn't recognize. (I'm old.)

Unfortunately, the 96.5 frequency is now owned by Cumulus, so don't expect the new 96 Rock to be anywhere near as good as the old 96 Rock. Clueless owns stations in many formats, and it (like Crap Channel) blacklisted the Dixie Chicks from the country stations it owns, and the talk format that aired on 96.5 since last year was almost exclusively conservative, so that shows you where Clueless's mentality rests. Cumulus tried blaming the listeners for its decision to ban the Dixie Chicks from the 50 country stations it owned nationwide, but that was a bullshit excuse, because everybody I know who listens to country music thinks the Dixie Chicks were right to criticize the Bush regime. (With both Crap Channel and Clueless banning the Dixie Chicks from country radio, this blacklist was in force at the 2 largest radio station owners in America.)

No wonder Cumulus is named after a cloud - because that was an Allowed Cloud!

Just as unfortunately, radio in Cincinnati is run almost entirely by Crap Channel, Clueless, and Bombville, so don't expect any better stations to appear on a frequency that you can pick up clearly.
