Methinks you, like many, confuse what they call "country music" these days, with what is played on Outlaw Country. Nothing in common. ;-)

Check out some Duane Eddy....Steve Earl...David Allan Coe..Emmy Lou Harris...Johnny Cash...Joe Ely..Shooter Jennings...Jim Lauderdale..Ray Wyle Hubbard...Jason Isbell (a cousin of mine)...

Granted I am not a life-long SOMD resident like some of you are BUT, when in the HELL was 97.7 EVER a contemporary rock, active rock, or any other rock other than "classic rock" station??!! From what I remember of the recent past, it turned to more progressive rock (stuff from the mid-90's to today) for about 10 minutes back a few years ago.

Other than that, it has been the same sh!t before and after. Nothing but "classic rock" from the 60's to 1987.

On a funny side note. I do like the station interrupts that say "From Nirvana to Fleetwood Mac...." When in God's name do they EVER play Nirvana??

They played some Nirvana back during that brief change a few years ago that didn't last.

Ah yes. I believe that was the pre-Ripley days (that guy was a tool!)

"I don't do song requests! I do song 'suggestions." What a nozzle!

I thought all that music (97.7 and 98.3) came down from the satellite as a stream. What actual "programming" is there anyway?

31 years ago so...... YEP!

1987 wasn't 31 years ago a-hole.. It was only....

Odd that he doesnt get more airplay, right?

Maybe on WKYS.

Can you imagine the hullabaloo if his raunchy stuff were be played on the airwaves....... Pearls would be clutched hard enough to form diamonds.....

Maybe then but definately when BlakJak was on there. Speaking of Ripley, someone needs to update the station's website. Evidently I signed up for emails and contests when he was on there. Just last month, I got a birthday greeting from him at 97.7. How long has he been gone now?

Maybe on WKYS.

WKYS? They're Adult R&B. Do you mean WKIK?
