KQRS is “under construction”
I hope they don't play "It's the end of the world as we know it" on loop as one station did back in the day when they changed format. I can't remember if it was WLOL or which one it was...
Pretty sure it was the Edge 93.7 that did that in the 90s.
KQ seemed to be playing Soul Asylum's "Somebody to Shove" on repeat this morning. That is an odd choice if they are indeed copying what the Edge did.
(or is it an April Fools stunt?)
I thought it was WLOL 99.5 that did that when they flipped to classical or whatever they are.
It was when 93x was changed to The Edge in 1994
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?
Aloha!
Update on KQRS. Still classic rock but moving into the 90s too. New lineup of hosts too.

I still scratch my head at the idea of 1980's being considered "oldies".
To me the categories should be
- Oldies - 50's and 60's
- Classic - mid/late 60's to early/mid 80's
Anything after that is just crap.

Like my dismay when my college age nephew was going on about Queen being “the oldies”!Update on KQRS. Still classic rock but moving into the 90s too. New lineup of hosts too.

Definitely cool as Queen was having a resurgence with his age group, but still old. Then he discovered I pretty much had every vinyl Queen album and wanted them. Like an early inheritance 😆
When people tell me I’ll regret not having kids, I say that’s okay I know a really good place to cry. It’s my vacation home.
Yeah I don't think anyone refers to the 80's as "oldies" although my kids might. 🤣

I quit listening to KOOL 108 10+ years ago, when they started playing songs that were popular when I was in high school and college (80-86). At the time, they were still referring to themselves as an "oldies" station.

Sounds like the new format is pretty much
Decided… f it I’m home this weekend gonna pay $20’for the 2 Wild and Wolves games, all playoff implications. The Fan Duel app is garbage, even worse than I heard. How are professional teams allowing this to be one of their platforms. 💩

If it makes you feel any better the Fan Duel live restaurant in St. Louis is also underwhelming.

Now the app thinks cause I live in Hudson that I only get Bucks games and not the Wolves

I sent an email to the program director at Fox9 thanking them for carrying so many Gopher Hockey games this season. Figure it doesn't hurt to let them know we appreciated it. They thanked me for watching.
This tweet is not aging well for poor Mr. Doogie.

Always great to hear from Frank. Kinda cool to have three friends of the GPL Podcast in one place.

So why is the Star Tribune such a poor news paper? They can not print a paper with local sports outcomes from the night game finals
Aloha!
Guessing lack of staffing, which means they can't push those deadline limits to the last minute anymore. Also, over the past couple of years, the paper has less content overall (prob due to the same issues). Finally, they really push their online version of the paper (paid subscription).
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
A little more info and for those without social media 😉
Location TBD, but in the Twin Cities metro.
Please, anywhere other than Edina.
Wren Clair has left KARE 11 after a short stint after leaving KSTP earlier this year. She has filed a lawsuit against KSTP. Sports director Reggie Wilson is leaving KARE 11 at the ned of the year after they are eliminating his position.
Over at WCCO. Amelia Santaniello will now anchor the new 4pm news show. Frank Vascellaro will solo anchor the 5 and 10pm newscast.

Reggie’s wife was also recently let go and they have a newborn.
I’m just one person but I can’t remember the last time I sat down and watched a local TV news broadcast.

Printing in Iowa, how many trucks will be used to bring the paper back to MN on a daily basis, and come winter time and snow storms hit will they not make deliveries of the paper?
Aloha!

Same, local TV news has never been must see TV for me.
KARE News Director let go, too.

I also find it odd that local stations are adding more news shows. Down here we have news (on various stations) starting at 4:30 am to 7am, then 9-10am, then 11-Noon, then noon to 1230, then 4-7 pm, and from 9-1030pm. They only cover sports during the 9 and 10pm news. One company owns the local Fox, NBC and ABC stations and it is one newsroom, while the local CBS station is still the juggernaut. I mostly watch the local news for the weather. The local CBS station has 5 weatherman employed, which I think is a bit much.
