I may change my mind in the next week or so. This could be a huge, life changing decision. I'll either add another star, making XL my continued favorite station in the US so far, or I'll give the fewest stars possible.
Why? There's a big promotion going on. Or what I think is a promotion anyway. Have you heard of Stick on the Radio, XL's long-running afternoon DJ? They're ::allegedly:: threatening to pull him off the air. Stick is hysterical; extremely sarcastic, borderline offensive, and does really unique segments that are the main reason most people probably love to hate him.
Due to one of these segments, War of the Roses, where Stick calls a potential cheater and offers a free service, like a dozen roses, to see who they are sent to. With the significant other on hold, they find out instantly if their mate is cheating or not. Their fight is then broadcast for all listeners, and gets extremely entertaining. The new lows I've heard people stoop to have gotten so bad, I'm surprised Stick hasn't been offered a secondary gig as the new Jerry Springer.
While I understand that these unsuspecting listeners are probably upset they've been outed to all of Orlando, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?! You absolutely deserve it!
Apparently, these high class men and women, who think it's fair to subject their husbands, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, and family to endless humiliation, also think it's ok to make a very talented DJ lose one of his best segments, and maybe his job. I'm sorry, but did you lose your job when your boss heard you were a lying cheater? No? Well good for you. Maybe you should have.
This could very well be an expertly-engineered publicity stunt, and either way I'm on board to find out the results. If it's not however, despite the fact that I love driving to work listening to Johnny and Jayde, and really enjoy the events XL puts on, I'll switch stations permanently. If it is, however, a stunt, props XL. You had me fooled, and I'll continue to listen. Until you do something else that ticks me off, that is.
