Split Personality
The precipitous fall of the local radio station found at 98.7 is sad. Over the past few years, the station has tried the identities of The Point, then The Zone, and now 98.7 Simon. Unfortunately, Simon's taste in music is atrocious. For those of us who can recall when 98.7 was WRQK, the local album rock pioneer, Simon is even more disappointing.
I am sure there are some people who want to listen to Wham!, and there are some people who want to listen to Led Zeppelin. These are almost never the same people, so the station's few remaining listeners hear songs they find crappy a good bit of the time.
Any station that plays Aerosmith and K.C. and the Sunshine Band back to back should be called 98.7 Sybil.
