Listened for many years but the other reviews are accurate. They have this massive catalog of music…read morebut they play the same songs over and over, especially certain artists. Same 2 Rush songs daily. It's like having a closet full of clothes and picking the same 10 things to wear every day. They do have the top 1043 countdown Thanksgiving weekend which allows you to hear some different stuff. However they now broadcast NY Jets games, which takes priority. Music, including the countdown, gets shuttled to the background. I gave one star for some of the DJs. With fewer people listening to terrestrial radio, one would think they'd do better. Sad!

I've never been a fan of FM "classic" radio. In my teens, I became bored with the groups I had…read moregrown up listening to-- the Beatles, the Doors, Led Zeppelin, etc. (let me hasten to add that as an adult I've re-evaluated these groups, have "re-discovered" them, and...as a seasoned, hopefully more mature, less dogmatic, and knowledgeable adult...can listen with "new ears" and appreciate them anew)-- and was looking for "something different." I wasn't going to find it on FM radio. At that point, I was basically unaware of college radio, and the FM station-- in those days, it was WNEW-- was frustrating to listen to. "Stairway to Heaven" and "Freebird" were played constantly, almost as if the whole process of listening was a religious ritual and we were expected to bow down before the altar of Zeppelin and Skynyrd. New groups like the Ramones or older groups like the Velvet Underground or the Stooges were never going to be played. Ever. And if you didn't like it? Buy a record player, chump... Which is not to say that FM didn't leave certain impressions that still resonate in my memory. I can remember waking up to face another torturous school day, and hearing Allison Steele aka "the Nightbird" signing off to the background sound of cymbals, flute, kalimba, and God knows what else. I can't remember what pretentiously "witchy" things she used to say to bid "goodnight" to her regular listeners or "good morning" to groggy malcontents like me, but I think Stevie Nicks would have approved. I desperately wanted to hear that band I had read so much about-- the Sex Pistols. Their singles were available nowhere (at least nowhere in my neck of the NJ woods), but...believe it or not...I heard them first on FM radio-- Scott Muni's show, to be exact. His voice dripping with condescension and sarcasm, he said, "Well, you've heard about them, and if you wanna actually hear them, well...here they are..." before playing "God Save The Queen," which made me an immediate entranced fan (although, in my old age, I think my teenage hero John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten has transformed over the decades into a total talentless a**hole). As far as I know, WNEW is long gone, and now we have...Q104.3. I won't say its made me long for the WNEW days, but it does have me quickly grasping for the dial as I do my channel surf in order to change the channel to...well, almost anything else. If you're lucky, you'll hear a song from the past...a "classic"...that actually still retains that status. "Dream On." "Don't Fear the Reaper." "Ziggy Stardust." "Strange Days." Even "Stairway to Heaven" or "Freebird" sound refreshing now, if you happen to catch it. You have to be lucky. Most times, you're going to hear Bon Jovi. Or Lover Boy (Lover Boy!?! Yep.). Aerosmith "hits" put out long after they gave up drugs and sank down into the swamp of puerile mediocrity even as they raked in tons of money. Journey. Eddie Money. Queen (talented but I'm not a fan). No Bob Dylan (I think I'd stroke out if they happened to play "George Jackson"), but you'll hear a lot of Billy Joel. A lot. The "jocks" are relentlessly upbeat and positive (sorta like the "Yelp Elite"). Ian O'Malley sounds like he gargles every morning with small rocks, and has nothing but good things to say about...EVERYBODY! Carol Miller sounds like she has adenoidal issues, talking with rote enthusiasm about the Dep Leppard tickets they're promoting or yet another contest before playing an "oldie but goodie"..."Eye of the Tiger." They'll play the Clash (although it'll be a consumer-friendly hit like "Rock the Casbah"; you're never going to hear "I'm So Bored With the USA"). They do play the Ramones too now. "I Wanna Be Sedated" or...if they're feeling really "wild and crazy"..."Blitzkrieg Bop." (No "Carbona Not Glue") Stooges? Well, you might hear Iggy...solo...doing "China Girl" or "Candy" but don't hold your breath waiting to hear "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell' or "Death Trip." (And...an aside...I love Iggy, but it's time to put the shirt back on. He looks like a melting candle now.) No Stooges, no Velvets, no Dolls, no MC5. No Mother Love Bone either. Nirvana or maybe Red Hot Chili Peppers...that's about as "outside the box" as it's going to get. If you want "outside the box," tune in to WFMU or WPRB. And God help you if you stumble into a block of their commercials. They run without interruption for nearly a half hour. I will sometimes pause at Q1043 as I channel surf, hoping I might stumble onto one of those old songs that I liked. My hopes are almost never realized. Another Billy Joel song, or another block of commercials, and I move on. There are only so many hours in a lifetime. I can almost hear the spirits of Allison Steele and Scott Muni saying with malicious glee, "Sure, you didn't like us way back when, but how do you like your FM Classic Radio now, punk!? Maybe worshipping before the altar of Jimmy Page or Ronnie Van Zant or Pete Townsend wasn't such a bad thing after all!"

This was the most horrible experience I have ever had at a comedy show. The comedians were nothing they represented on the streets that the sellers are selling. It is in a dingy dark basement and very dirty, yucky atmosphere. The staff is extremely unexperienced and unprofessional. We also definitely got roofied last night there I think to make us laugh. This was a very unbearable show. We left early and we're up all nite with heart palpitations and headaches. These are new and just starting comedians. Not funny in the slightest. We had to force ourselves to laugh. BEWARE. Listen and read to the reviews!!!

I've hung in with Paramount+ (a subsidiary of CBSViacom) for a few months and it's thin line-up…read moredoes not warrant putting my subscription on automatic pilot. Basically, as with most streamers you can cancel, re-up for a month or two, binge anything new and then cancel again. I hung around for their re-boot of Frasier (IMHO the best sit-com of all time) and witnessing the train wreck made of the updating, it was beyond sad and unnecessary. Without the sterling writing and tight ensemble cast, it's a quick hook and curtains for the good doctor. I also love Star Trek but you can't build an entire streamer around the reruns and a geriatric Jean Luc Picard. Finally, it was also interesting catching a few episodes of the original Hawaii Five-0 and Mission Impossible. My nostalgic tolerance for bad acting and hackneyed plots is fleeting and reminds me that a fond boyhood memory is often more pleasing than a real time reminder. Paramount+ may live long and prosper but it's in dire need of more rotating content. Dr. Frasier Crane deserved better... kudos to the rest of the original cast for staying away. Five stars for the convenience and excellent picture quality.

I am deeply disturbed and disappointed by the conduct of Alana Alongi, who works in Engineering…read moreRecruitment at Bloomberg LP. Recently, she made comments online regarding the death of Charlie Kirk that were not only deeply inappropriate but also crossed a line into what can only be described as cyberbullying. While I will not repeat the specific content of her message due to its offensive and highly disrespectful nature, I believe it is important to call attention to behavior that is entirely unacceptable ,! especially from someone in a professional role at a globally recognized company. Regardless of one's personal views, mocking or using someone's death as an opportunity to ridicule others is cruel and morally wrong. It's troubling to see someone in a position of influence and responsibility using social media in this way. This behavior reflects poorly not just on the individual, but on the company that employs them. There must be a higher standard of conduct, especially from those who are tasked with representing their organization in any capacity. Cyberbullying, harassment, and hate speech ,particularly around the sensitive topic of someone's death , should never be tolerated, under any circumstances. I sincerely hope Bloomberg LP takes this matter seriously and looks into the appropriateness of this employee's actions. There should be accountability for online behavior that causes harm and promotes hostility, especially from those in corporate leadership or recruitment roles. In times like these, empathy and professionalism should prevail , not cruelty. Also, looks like I'm not the only one she's reaching out to... saw she send another disturbing message to an influencer.

Sure it still attracts a few listeners but as an incubator of creativity and innovation the patient flatlined years ago. It's the proverbial Dead Brand Walking... and talking. Twenty three years ago iHeart had an idea, buy key music and news stations in the top 30 markets, homogenize the formats, the playlists, stream where they could, expand the commercial loads and watch listeners flee to the non-iHeart streaming services and their phones to capture personal playlists and retrieve the news of the day. With the exception of Sports Talk, AM radio is a virtual goner and FM now belongs to the execrable sounds of K-Pop and fringe formats too unlistenable to mention. There's little wonder why artists debut at number one on Billboard with 100,000 sales/streams and then all but disappear the next week. There's no critical mass for any artist as exposure has been dissipated and splintered - and gone with it is the shared experience and culture that radio created. Of course iHeartMedia went bankrupt several times along the way but that did little to deter their onslaught of mediocrity. I'm a classic rock guy myself so I can't tell you what a joy it is to listen to Aqualung, Stairway To Heaven and Maggie May on an endless loop as playlists are culled to a scant handful of songs. Q104.3 in New York is dreadful and the Princeton University station offers a wonderful selection of sea shanties and whaling songs. So, no thank you to both. My car is now the province of Pandora, XM and my dinosaur collection of CDs existing far beyond the reach of the insanity provoking Kars for Kids jingle, the endless parade of hyperbolic car dealer ads and the new pestilence of sports book/gambling spots that all compel me to hit my presets at the first whiff of a commercial. Years ago car manufacturers offered a "delete radio" option... they might want to consider bringing that back. Video may have killed the radio star but iHeartMedia put the fork in the entire medium. Turn out the lights. One star.

I WANT MY MTV!!!!!!! The early 80s+ anthem!…read more The "I want my MTV" campaign included ads where rock stars such as Pete Townsend and the Police would say "I want my MTV," endorsing the channel. Music Television officially launched on 8-1-1981, airing music videos and related programs hosted by video jockeys, or VJs. Martha Quinn, the "girl next door" VJ still hosts a daily show on Sirius XM Radio's "The 80s on 8" station. MTV dominated pop culture in the 80s! The first words when MTV initially aired were spoken by one of MTV's creators, John Lack: "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll." A nod, perhaps, to the iconic, legendary Lemmy Kilmister's opening of every Motorhead show with, "We are Motorhead...And We play rock and roll!" Because of MTV, I threw teenage caution to the wind and paid for my family's cable television! This was a serious commitment in 1981. My favorite artists' videos at that time were Stevie Nicks, Billy Idol, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Police, Ratt (who's autograph I got when they came to Huntsville), U2, ZZ Top, and of course Van Halen (in the David Lee Roth or "Diamond Dave") days! Who can forget the iconic moment Courtney Cox was pulled onstage in the Bruce Springsteen video, "Dancing in the Dark?!" That was an adorable moment and probably a game-changer for her pending generations-long acting career! Stand out videos were Michael Jackson's "Thriller," "Billie Jean," and "Beat it"(all in 1983); "1999" by Prince in 1983; and Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" featuring Tawny Kitaen in 1987. We were all glued to MTV on July 13, 1985, when MTV showed the Live Aid concerts (broadcasting 16 hours of coverage,) held in London and Philadelphia and organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. The 1983 US Festival from 5/28/83-5/30/83 featured Van Halen who headlined on "Heavy Metal Day." To experience VH, my crew and I rented a hotel room (Kings Inn, S. Memorial Parkway, Huntsville - still there to this day); rounded up our 110 cameras, stocked up on fast food takeout, filled the bathtub with ice and cold bottled of Busch, and settled in to watch the show on the room's cable TV and enjoy the swimming pool. ((Good times!!)) Other than a few interesting videos in the 90s, MTV pretty much died for me in the 80s. It was a great ride, though! Thank you MTV!
