Dred's "Connected" Topics

Slow day: Just realized nobody has posted here since January 8!

Man, they're really scraping the bottom of the prize barrel this week: "a pair of tickets to American Idol Live in San Jose on Sunday, August 17th."

ETA: Already pointed out on the KFOG Radio FB page to wide acclaim.

There is a great variety in the level of prizes they've offered, which keeps it interesting, I guess.

Although one must admit that the American Idol Live show would have to be a great source of one of my favorite vitamins, Iron E.

Yeah, I responded to the Dog thread with a request (Quiche Lorraine) and "oh my god, SO not for tickets!"

I noticed that Sunday morning, Acoustic Sunrise was rather heavy on acoustic versions of KFOG faves and a lot lighter on the stuff Rosalie usually plays that is unique to the show. I was hoping it was an aberration.

Well, there's a new PD in town, and obviously he wants to get his fingers into just about everything. See also: Dennis Constantine.

Even at his worst, DC (who I still stand by my opinion of) was much better than the changes we’re currently seeing.  For one, Dred still had creative control over Connected (and for much of the evenings, as during his timeslot I kept on hearing deeper tracks outside of Connected, i.e. Blondie “Dreaming”)

Yeah, it seemed that the homogeneity was confined to M-F day time hours under DC, whereas now it's all the time.

Looks like "Connected" is no more.

officially, Connecrted is suspended "indefinitely" -- allegedly the PD is trying to see if ratings go down without it, and if they do then it will return, I guess.

What's an LN again? It's not in the Glossary...

LN means Least Necessary, similar to a FF (Frequent Flier) but basically a song ( a predictable "classic", let's say) you've heard way too many times.
