Wmms 1007 Fm

Maybe its just me and my sick humor, but I really enjoy listening to MMS during the day at work and during my travels back home. Rover is dumb, perverted, fart humor that cheers me up early in the morning. They do argue a little too much and scream into the mic. Not sure how (credit to the research team and prep) but Rover does interview very well.
Alan Cox is the clever, witty humor with a hint of fart joke that really gets me. He’s a great radio personality and does his share (along with Chad and Erika) to mix and mingle with the community. I have yet to make it out to an event but proudly display their sticker in my office. Good stuff AC.
The music they play is extremely repetitive. Only reason why I don’t listen to another station, is that the radio I listen to is funky and really difficult to tune in. Otherwise, its decent music if you don’t listen every day like me.

Ummm… Terrestrial radio has been on life support for at least a couple of decades now as stations are consolidated and homogenized. The sound is filtered to the standard 1500 song format with length being no more than 3 minutes. And of course the heavy rotation of the top 20 as dictated by sales. Looooooooong gone are the days of AOR and local flavor that ‘MMS was noted for in the 70’s…By 1980 it was already buying votes for «radio station of the year» accolades and suckling at the teet of the corporate sow, these days cume and ratings are down across the board as listeners are truely sick of the lack of variety and creativity of radio stations like WMMS…

If it was say, thirty years ago, this would be a five star deal. But the Turkey is a shadow of its former self. It started out in 1969 in the infancy of FM, as a station where the djs picked the music (mostly longer progressive album cuts). We’ve all heard how they «broke» Bowie in America. It was the cutting edge in national rock radio for about a decade. But the 90’s brought corporate ownership, rap-​metal (YUCK with a capital barf) and a litany of horrible morning shows! But none of them, not even David Lee Roth or Whoopie Goldberg, were as truly unlistenable as Rover. He did get his start on 92.3, so they are truly to blame. His festering fecal platter of a show panders to the lowest common denominator (Cleveland suburban Coors drinkers). He is not funny, offers no valid opinion on hot topics, is a terrible interviewer and mostly attempts jokes that are about three years old. The other «personalities» on the show are equally as dull. The callers are probably the worst part. They are like Trivisonno callers with half the IQ points.
At least they still carry the Browns games. But those are constantly peppered with ads for Maxwell (their other horrible talk show). Visit the Rock Hall and see how great the Turkey used to be. World series of rock, Kid Leo and the mighty Murray Saul. The current «talent» on this station couldn’t even begin to touch these legends of broadcasting.
