Post by Bret LudwigI'm sorry to hear the woman died but Art Bell is still a lousy
broadcaster IMO. I don't think he has really done a lot for radio
except to sell a lot of stuff for C.Crane. Every loser and fraud can go
on his show as long as it is a good ghost story or apocalypse or devil
posession warning. He's on a Cub Scout campfire level.
Who has done the most for radio? Local broadcasters covering local
material in an interesting and timely fashion. Sadly, they are about
gone. Fart Smell is lower than Stern in my opinion.
WOCA here in Ocala has a number of locally produced shows, and on a
variety of topics. I am on their "veterans news" program most weeks.
It is aired live from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM on Thursday mornings and
covers a wide range of topics of interst to veterans. Today, the first
half was about helping those who are returning home from active duty to
find jobs and places to live. The rest of the show was about helping
homeless Veterans get back on their feet. At the last count there were
over 2000 homeless Veterans in Marion County, Fl. with most of them
living in the Ocala National Forest.
