Re: "It's The End Of The World As We Know It..."

And it's only the tyranny of Arbitron that keeps the millions in 
Massachusetts from making college stations WMFO, WERS, WMBR, WZBC, WBRS, 
WZLY, WMWM, WJUL, WTBU, and WMLN the region's top stations....since none of 
them have had playlists in decades (if ever).  And you can't even use the 
"crappy DJ'ing" argument here, either.  Well, okay, for a lot of them you 
can, but you can't say WERS and WMBR have consistently lousy DJ's...usually 
their jock staff is better vocally, technically, and content-wise than the 
commercial crew.  (I'm not saying the other stations don't have good 
DJ's...I'm just saying that the vast majority of ERS & MBR DJ's are really 
good....the other stations have really good DJ's but not as many on-staff; 
tends to be kinda hit-or-miss depending on who's at the board when you tune 
in).
