KTCL 93.3 FM

This would be a five-​star review if I was into hearing the following:
— Nirvana
— RHCP
— Gary Jules’ cover of «Mad World»
— Sublime
— whatever «the new hot sh*t» song is (that’s actually been out for some time in the rest of the universe) that 93.3 wants to play IN. TO. THE. GROUND.
And I mean hearing the above (and others) 57 times in the same day. Sometimes the same hour. Yeah, I did the math.
I remember driving into Colorado on a road trip with high school friends; we were headed to Rave on the Rocks, and 93.3 had NIN on. Coming from Podunk, KS, where it was like all Matchbox 20 and Michelle Branch all the time, NIN on the radio was UH-​maaazing. And NIN on the radio is still pretty a’ight (given it’s a mere fraction of the catalog…), but even that seems few and far between on this station.
Also, that whole «Carlos Spicy Weiner» bit they have running currently? It’s not funny. Well, I guess if you’re 12 years old then maybe it’s hilarious. Or if you think Latin and/​or «Closet Gay» stereotypes are amusing, then sure.
Much like a handful of other Denver institutions, it’s not that it’s the best, it’s just all their is.

I cannot believe some of the garbage that they play on this station. If I have to listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers one more time I will write a nasty review on Unilocal.Also, what is with the throwback lunch? IMHO there is a reason no one li

It never occured to me to review a radio station until this morning. So let me set it up: I get my Area 93.3 newsletter earlier in the week and much to my delight there is a presale for Stone Temple Pilots. Since this is one of my all time favorites I decide this is a must concert (no matter how crazy Scott Weiland is I think his voice is like butter).
So 10a I click the link from Area 93.3 and it opens Ticketmaster and much to my dismay — no KTCL presale box! Nooooo! So I shoot off an email to the station, just as an FYI. Much to my surprise, in less than a couple minutes I got a response from Nick Cage. Color me impressed (what color is impressed anyways? I want to say purple for some reason). Long story short, he got me squared away. 5 Stars for Nick Cage! Now I have my STP tix!
Other than that, it is one of my go-​to radio stations. No. 1 on the olé dial. I wish they would play a little more obscure stuff and not repeat so many songs, I mean I like Muse, but do I need to hear them 10xs a day? Still, a good spot to linger on the dial for awhile. And good response time from their DJs!
