There was a time when the local radio business was competitive and filled with\u00a0 creative and talented people.\u00a0 \u00a0And then 1996 came along and the business changed.\u00a0 \u00a0The big got bigger.\u00a0 And then\u00a0 even bigger.\u00a0 Entertaining and informative radio (and a lot of great talent) slowly went away and soon we had McRadio.\u00a0 \u00a0You know, a Big Mac in Miami is the same as a Big Mac in Seattle.\u00a0 Instead of Big Macs it’s Ryan Seacrest coast to coast.\u00a0 Sad.\u00a0 \u00a0The big corporate boys and girls removed what what made radio great:\u00a0 LOCALISM.\u00a0 Almost all the STL stations are now owned by three out of town media conglomerates.\u00a0 But things are changing.\u00a0 \u00a0 The value of stations has declined so much that local ownership is possible again.\u00a0 \u00a0But what’s missing is the fun times and that\u00a0 good old fashioned competitive nature of local radio.\u00a0 \u00a0Well, its coming back and RadioPoop is here to inform you, entertain you, and stir the pot a little bit with truth, lies and quarter inch audio tape (remember when?)<\/p>\n
I’m Brad Hildebrand, AKA “The Grand Poopah” (thank you Info Dude Mike Otten) and life-long fan of radio.\u00a0 \u00a0 My goal is to give you some scoop, tell some stories, talk a little trash (maybe more depending on who!!) spread some gossip, indulge in a little satire, create some buzz with AI generated hallucinations, and just have some fun.\u00a0 \u00a0So here’s to good times.\u00a0 \u00a0To paraphrase Joe Ballsievoice “And the Poop just keeps on Coming”<\/p>\n
