The music ranges from some early stuff from the 60's up thru today's AC and varies from rock and roll to pop to classic disco dance and some occassional pop rock tunes as well. Show is very uptempo and moves right along with one of the two guys that are on air actually sounding like he's doing live remotes from out at various events, and then eventually returns to the studio when things really start to heat up. These two guys are a bit goofy but definitely funny together and sometimes almost over the edge. A great change from the usual borefest on the dial at night and even during the day. Worth a listen but I can't imagine how long this will last in this climate of corporate nickel squeezing. Actually it is definitely surprising that a live and local fun show full of all of the stuff, plus some well produced segments like this is still alive and available much less allowed in these times. Refreshing Radio! Kudos to the visionary here!!! http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/15998#post-70768 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 16:08:50 +0000 rokprtmike 70768@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ It is a business and if they pay the bucks they play the tunes. http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/17124#post-70767 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 16:06:36 +0000 rokprtmike 70767@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Heard "Tropical 91.9" this weekend on 91.9 with an ID of Long Island. Pretty strong signal from Long Island to Eatontown, NJ. <br /> <br /> Since WBGD in Brick, has illegally been off the air for over a year and a half, I'm not surprised that someone else has claimed their frequency. http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/16452#post-68653 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 06:32:04 +0000 oasisrulz 68653@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ thanks..thought I was seeing things LOL http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/15716#post-68650 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 05:42:07 +0000 MattBAA 68650@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_cool.gif" border=0 alt="Cool"> <font color="blue">From what I'm told by a friend of Bob's, he's relaxing at him home on Cape Cod...for now...but never say never...</font> http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/16452#post-68649 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 05:39:42 +0000 MattBAA 68649@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_cool.gif" border=0 alt="Cool"> <font color="blue">That tower is for sister station WKJY.</font> http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/16452#post-68635 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 11:45:31 +0000 oasisrulz 68635@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ I just passed their site today and I noticed two stand alone and one guy wired in the background....the FCC database has them listed with 2 towers 10kw-d.....but I did see a third tower..what gives?? http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/16160#post-67827 Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:07:39 +0000 Dr. Chuck 67827@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ As you may be aware, <a href="http://twitter.com" target="_blank">twitter</a> is a well-known microblogging site. You can send short messages to your friends, and keep track of your friends by "following" them.<br /> <br /> Having said that, is Barnstable using twitter for their stations, or is somebody using their identities for spamming? Here's who started following me today:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://twitter.com/kjoy983" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://twitter.com/kjoy983">http://twitter.com/kjoy983</a><!-- m --></a><br /> <a href="http://twitter.com/B103longisland" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://twitter.com/B103longisland">http://twitter.com/B103longisland</a><!-- m --></a><br /> <a href="http://twitter.com/943wmjc" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://twitter.com/943wmjc">http://twitter.com/943wmjc</a><!-- m --></a><br /> <br /> Ordinarily, I don't really mind who follows me, but when I see things like this I start to wonder.
