Hey, Boomer and Dawn? Sign your friggin red.

I think they're on vacation until Tuesday.

I think they are sending Red. Glad I got on their nerves. Maybe they'll kick it up a notch next storm and try to live up to T-Bone and Heather.

I don't think that will happen. :shrug:

They suck. I really, really tried to give them a chance, but after this weekend, NOT. They totally failed us.

I got nothing about what was going on here. That REALLY pissed me off. There was NO reporting on the outages.

Hey, MM, do you finally have power? It took them like 10 minutes to turn ours on. Amazing.

As long as I can remember, Southern Maryland has never had the kinda' radio support for the community that you so do desire (and I).
T-Bone and Heather were on before noon and would talk about local events (traffic, weather.................) if it happened before they left work for the day.
Otherwise, you would just get the "canned" news blurb that was maybe news 2 days old, repeated every hour.
After noon - all things animated.
Does SOMAR radio stations have the ability to have a person(s) on hand from
6 in the morning 'til 12 midnight to report about local situations ? I don't know.
We don't care if they have a "personality" blabbing about shiat all day !
If we just had someone to
be there when local things occur.
Their local weekend live broadcasts are all "profit oriented" and all too obvious about it!

97.7 has some good music nowadays even though they are all animated.
They say that they are going to have DJ's in the morning hours, it has not happened yet.
If they (SOMAR stations) "come around" and give the community support that we all desire,
that would be great!!!
but if you can still stomach the shiat music that 98.3 plays "nowadays", then I must say that you are having a personal emergency !!!

I was here when T-Bone and Heather were on and when they left it sucked but I wanted to give the new guys some slack but the radio station sucks. They never have anything I need or want to hear EVER.

I am not sure who owns the radio station but I hope they read the forums because after a while people will stop listening and if they are not listening then who is listening to the commercials on the radio? I hate that commercial that say’s we love you more than your Mp3 player….ummm not!

Take some of that money you are earning and manage the freaking station! Other radio stations seem to be able to do it so try. OR better yet, PM me and I will manage the freaking station. At least then we will have up to date news and traffic and information that people need when they need it.

I remember T-Bone and Heather reporting during bad weather emergencies when the radio station had power. They reporting the entire evening after the tornado in LaPlata, and many times when we were under tornado warnings, etc. I had no power, but I listened to them on a battery radio and they were reporting where funnel clouds were sighted, to take cover, etc. This was during the asfternoon and evening hours. They were there reporting flooded roads, where funnel clouds had been sited, etc. Whether they reported back to the station or not, I don't know, but THEY WERE reporting what was going on.
All I heard Friday afternoon was a repeated tape. Very frustrating since I was at work and can't pick up anything on the radio but 98.3, 102.9 and 97.7. I finally gave up on 98.3 and turned to 97.7 to at least hear some decent music, knowing I was not going to hear any news reports for our area.
Several weeks ago, I received the "test" emergency notification call from the county commissioners at home and at work. I sure didn't get one Friday when there was an actual state of emergency put into effect. That's not going to work anyway if your power and telephone lines are laying in the road. We need some type of communication from the radio. We're sh*t out of luck if we get struck by terrorists.

You got that right. Who owns the station anyways? I know I would not want to advertise on that station. Hell you are better off advertising here. You reach a lot more people and this site is dependable.

To the coward that left the stupid azz message. If you wanted to make a point then you need try a little harder. Obviously you have no clue what you are talking about or you just did not take the time to read all the other posts. Your post so was ridiculous no wonder you did not sign it or post it in here for everyone else to read. If I were you and I posted something that was so LAME I would be too embarrassed to let everyone know what a Dumbazz I was. Get a clue. Loser does not even cover it...

Don't feel bad I got red for agreeing with you

Probably the only time that T-Bone and Heather stayed on late.
I think they lived in Charles county in or around LaPlata.
They were probably happy to be in a safe and warm and fuzzy St. Mary's studio that evening, until the funnel cloud passed by.
Anyhow, never a consistent service to the community.
I agree that we would be shiat out of luck in a terrorist situation.
SOMAR needs to take their responsibilites more serious as being a member of
a community between Washington DC and Patuxent River NAS !!!!

Oh I don't feel bad at all and neither should anyone else in here, we are not cowards that leave behind dim-witted remarks like a chickenshait to where there is no room for debate.

Instead of bringing it in here for open discussion or signing their names they hide behind the computer thinking they are so clever and actually accomplishing something. They know what they said was stupid and do not want anyone to know who said it. I just hope they can understand all the big words that I am using.

And a another little Karma message
"And more for talking about your red. Havent you learned anything yet?"

NO!

I got hit with red too.
The coward(s) did not sign the comment.
Must be a SOMAR corporate weenie.

How about this.... since I posted to your post by mistake I agreed with you in that the station needs to step up...does that make better sense?

Either that or some lameazz loser with nothing better to do than play childish games. Notice they are not in here defending themselves?

 

[FireBrand]

I still think it is not really the DJ's as much as it is the station. But T-Bone and Heather were therea couple of times past the norm when it was called for.

Read the Post !!!

My girlfriend who just moved here, calls Friday morning and asks what she should do if the school closes early, who to call, where to look for information.

I say, WWW.SOMD.COM If I ever want to know what the heck is going on around here, I log in and it's right there, faithful, colorful and informative. This is the BESTEST place to get the local dirt, hand down.

But you know what we need, and Sockgirl brought this to my attention....

The forums neeeeeeeddddd to go mobile. That way, even if I'm on a road trip, with outh electric or in Walmart, I can have quick access to the boards and can post pics of the sights and sounds of southern Maryland.
Forget the radio the forums are all I need.
