Hallellujah! Amen. Rick, you said it. Once, a long time ago, in a galaxy not so far away, there was this little radio station that had a Nirvana CD, a Pearl Jam CD, and that was it. They rocked. Then something happened, and they got more CD's and then, thier "new rock alternative" became nothing more than a carbon copy of the local "UFO". Radio has sucked ever since then. I have actually started to listen to AM talk radio pretty religiously in the past year and a half or so. Check out Phil Hendrie for a good time on 1080. But as for rock, here are my demands: 1. Get some new G%*DAMN music! 2. Alternative? Alternative to what?? The same crap on the other stations. Make some real alternatives. 3. Realize that their are people outside of the ages of 12-14 who may not find fat guys masturbating that funny. 4. Play some G#*Damn music!! Okay, that's all. Just wanted to back up what has been said with my own thoughts.

Teamsters Call Foul on Budweiser Distributor Union to Inform Fans at Blazers Game of Maletis Beverage’s Attack on Good Jobs in Portland
(Portland, OR) On Monday, March 22, 2004, Teamsters Local 162 members will be at the Portland Trailblazers – Houston Rockets game to inform fans about the Rose Garden’s Budweiser distributor – Maletis Beverage’s plans to cut long-time workers’ benefits. Maletis distribution workers have charged that the company’s new management has violated federal labor law by making threats to lock them out of their jobs and refusing to bargain a contract in good faith.
“For more than 14 months, the Teamsters have made every effort to reach a fair contract that provides security for the working families at Maletis,” said Phil Muter, Teamsters Local 162 Representative. “All the new management seems to want to do is attack good jobs in Portland – even to the point of jeopardizing service.”
Who: Maletis Beverage Teamsters Local 162 What: Teamsters Rally and Informational Leafletting to Trailblazers Fans When: 6:00 p.m. Monday March 22, 2004 Where: Holiday Park, next to Lloyd Center then March to Rose Garden

Corporate Radio sucks everywhere. Commercial stations that might be decent now are steadily getting worse and sinking into the muck that is Clear Channel/Infinity commercial schlock. Portlanders, try tuning to your community radio station, KBOO. Or try KPSU. Or even OPB(which is still heavily corporate funded). All three can be streamed over the internet.

Duh. If you listen to commercial radio, no wonder you're fed up. We actually have better radio out here in Oregon than anywhere I've been, and it's the public and community stations. Turn off ClearChannel.

DUDE!!! The music on all the freakin stations play the same music I heard when I was a teenager!! The supposed 'cool', 'young' stations like KUFO are playing AC/DC and Metallica like there's no tomorrow. The alternative stations= Nirvana. And the soft rock stations still play 80s crap. How many times can a person sit through the upmteenth Phil Collins "Another Day In Paradise" or "In the Air Tonight?"
Get a clue Portland radio stations!!! We've all moved on to iPods and XM, and you guys are being left behind because you refuse to grow up like the rest of us!

I hate PDX radio also.
After Marconi making fun of the American being beheaded in Iraq, that did it for me. What a shameless, uncaring asshole.
Not to mention his group of on-air idiots that provide the canned laughter everytime he says something "funny".
I am now going through my old CDs instead of listening to the radio. My IQ doesn't lower as with listening to these moronic DJs.

yeah. That was awhile ago, and for a bit it got better. I think in response to the threat of satellite. But it has slowly regressed to the old crap that it was. Same bands over and over like a music dynasty, too many commercials.

at least you have stations that play rock music. here in cleveland, we have clear channel's choice selection of rap, country, oldies, and republican talk radio. I really don't know if there's a decent rock station left anywhere in the U.S.

1. Get some new G%*DAMN music! 2. Alternative? Alternative to what?? The same crap on the other stations. Make some real alternatives. 3. Realize that their are people outside of the ages of 12-14 who may not find fat guys masturbating that funny. 4. Play some G#*Damn music!! Okay, that's all. Just wanted to back up what has been said with my own thoughts.

I’m in the same boat, only I made the mistake of getting one of those radio transistor car kits first.
That was a total waste of money, so now I’ll wait for the tax refund and pony up for the car stereo as well.
