Radio trades reported Tuesday that in Seattle, Clear Channel's KJR-FM will now report only "good news.”
PD Jay Kelly says “People need a break… the fact remains that 93% of the population is still employed, that babies are coming into the world every minute, and genuine human kindness is prevalent throughout America.”We tried all day, but couldn't catch any news, good or bad on KJR-FM and annoyingly, they're playing exactly the same music they were when we last listened to KJR -- in 1969. Does little but remind us we're really old. (that's bad news).
But we're here to help. Here are some happy headlines for PD Jay:

Hey Bla'M...have you listened to 104.5 out of Covington? KMCQ is another oldies station but limits itself to the 60s and 70's..they dredge up songs I havent thought of since 8th grade..kinda fun to listen to. I punch that button when Lee Callahan does her news and traffic reports in the morning on my way to school. I still think she gets a nickle for every time she mentions "Jovita".
