I really miss the great announcers and unique formats of my local radio stations.
KNXR out of Rochester just signed off. The announcers' voices were special. The music was my kind of music. Weekly they had park rangers talking about wildlife; old time radio show reruns; gardening guru.
The best radio show was Dale and Ed on Minnesota Public Radio, with skits, live music occasionally, a few interviews, the greatest variety in music (from classical to jazz). And lots of humor.
Now I am left with my small town's radio station, which has switched from big band to boomer sixties music. It still has great voice-ins for sports and news, local news - - and, while I don't really like them, I appreciate them - - daily obituaries of local people.
Last month I stopped buying batteries for my radio. Next month I will buy an Internet radio. I miss local radio.
