Basically, if you're a big Fleetwood Mac fan, this is the station for you. Ten years ago, you'd hear '60s and '70s hits. Ten years from now, if their format stays the same, you'll hear mostly '90s pop. So basically, you know you're old when the hits of your teenage years are being played on 99.9. I'm only a few years away myself. The horror. KGOR is also Omaha's home of Josh Tesh's Intelligence For Your Life.

Someone from the station quickly replied and addressed the issue politely so it looked like that was that. However... I couldn't believe what happened that next Sunday. Crash Davis chose to open the show with this bizarre paranoid rant about the email I'd sent a week before, but it wasn't based on anything I actually wrote. Rather a bunch of stuff he just made up. When I said how I'd been listening to the program for a long time and really appreciate it, he supposedly interpreted that as me "getting really mad" and proceeded to accuse me of plotting to get him in trouble with his boss. The whole thing ended with him literally calling for my eternal damnation live on air. At that point, I decided to just stop listening to this station altogether. Whether or not YOU choose to listen, just be aware that this is the kind of reaction you may get if you ever dare contact the station about anything even slightly critical.

So glad they've been around for a couple years now! I remember sitting in NYC traffic when "Cool it Now" by New Edition came on. That song is amazing and also the type of song you'd never hear on Omaha radio at the time. Well, they play it occasionally on Mind & Soul and I cranked the song in my car the glorious moment I heard it on the air in Omaha for the first time. It's also pretty cool that they broadcast out of the Malcolm X birth site. Do yourself a favor and turn the dial to 101.3 FM. Since they're a nonprofit, even consider donating a little money to help them continue to grow.

Listeners love the Classic Hip Hop, the Jazz education, the deep dive into Funk music, the emphasis on Black economic development, and the reports from the front line of today's "Fight the Power" movements. The station is dedicated to the concept of Self-Actualization and is a place where ideas are discussed, and unapologetic solutions for social justice are found and disseminated.

Plus they have a convenient location right off of Dodge street in Dundee. I've been on a few shows in the past as both co-host (yeah, we'll call it that) and as a guest. All the producers I've worked with are super friendly and professional, yet know how to keep things casual and cool, especially when the crazies start calling in. My only request would be a commercial free oldies station. I really miss Magic 1490!

On the other hand, something about the people the interview, or the equipment they use, or something makes them all sound so damn pretentious: "I'm Michele Norris, and this (dramatic pause) is Day to Day". Even the people Dick Gordon interviews on "The Story" who are not the on air personalities somehow catch it from using the same microphone or something. Overall I think that NPR is an acceptable place to turn when you're tired of flipping back and forth between stations that play the same damn song every 20 minutes, but it can get just annoying after awhile.
