"RIP Y-100"

AFTER ALMOST 12 YEARS MODERN ROCK STATION IS DEAD

Next to the gravestones of WDRE and EAGLE 106 now lies Y-100.

No more Preston and Steve.

No more Cathy.

No more Camp Out for Hunger.

No more Y-100 festivals or FEASTIVALS.

No more Bizzarro Files.

No more hailrous Micheal Jackson jokes.

No more YOU GUYS ROCK.

103.9 a R&B/ Hip-hop station is now there the modern rock station used to be. They are (were) owned by Radio One, and they want to "ubranize" their sound. So, now Philly has no modern rock stations. They do have a handful of the "ubranized stations" though. 103.9 will now be black gosspel.

Is there any modern rock stations from South Jersey that I don't know about that I can put into my radio?

After almost 12 years I figured we were safe as far as the modern rock stations getting the rug pulled out from underneath them.

Pretson and Steves morning show wasn't even given the chance to have a finale. Which isn't uncommon in the radio business. Likely out of fear of disgruntled radio talent from breaking FCC laws and simply bashing their soon to be ex-bosses.

Supposedly they are WMMR bound. However not for 6 months. Usually legally they cant work for another station for 6 months.

Truely, a sad day. Since it was the morning show I enjoyed the best. Now in place of them is Moonie & the Pooch. Whoever the hell they are. Im truely upset, and im sure so are lots of other radio listeners.

"Whacky Storm Out of No where"

A whole bunch of crazy stuff is going on weather wise out west. Well we can't quite compete with that here. Thankfully. HOwever, a storm system is about to slip up the coast and run into cold air. Forecasters (surprise) are all over the map (pun intended) with this one.

The closer you are to the ocean (assuming my readers are all NJ residents) the more snow you will get. I have heard 2-4, for Philly metro to as high as 7 inches(I doubt that). At the very least 7 inches down in Cape May area. So, good news for Beanz perhaps if he wants a day off! Could start as late as tomorrow night and as early as tomorrow morning! Its that whacky. Stay tuned folks. Check out the map break down.

Winter Weather WATCH!

"For Love or For Money?"

I don't have the link for it. In all fairness I guess I don't know all "the facts". I know I also shouldn't be laughing everytime I see this.

However, I am sure you have heard about the guy who is sueing the Eagles.

Apprently the man was doing work for a company hired by the Eagles to shovel snow off the seats during the "Monster Storm" right before the Eagles game. He said he just LOVED the Eagles so much that he was honored to shovel snow so Eagles fans could enjoy them game. He just loves those IGGLES.

However, the man perhaps was so excited over shoveling snow for his football team that he left his gloves at home. The company was nice enough to provide him with a shovel, but they didn't give him any gloves. Now he is sueing the Eagles, because he is losing a bunch of his fingers due to frost bite he got for having his hands exposed in dangerously cold weather.

You would have thought that after feeling left his hands, or some one said.

"Dude your hands are all discolored"

He might have left or something. I mean I am sure everyone was like (all day long).

"Dude, no gloves? What are you crazy?"

His response? Perhaps.

"Yeah, man CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZY ABOUT THE BIRDS! Lets Go Eagles!"

Very, bizzare. Why the hell would you have left the house with out gloves in the first place? If he showed up in sunglasses, shorts and sandals could he still sue? I mean I think the Eagles just assumed people would just dress. I don't like it was one of the biggest winter storms to hit Philly in years. Perhaps, I don't know. Like it is the dead of winter.

I also heard he was out there for around 30 hours. Now I guess they worked really hard, but I can't imagine he was out there that long.

"Call Them Up!"

This is pretty funny. Apprently someone hacked into T-Moble and published numbers and emails of famous people. Quite a lot of them were all in Paris Hiltons cell phone. Sorry folks the numbers arent there, but if you want to read more just click away.

"It's Snow Big Deal"

Well the snow will start falling later today. Nothing has really changed, although the warmer air might even be around longer. Even if we do get some snow its turning to rain and turn to slush before tomorrow morning. So, it might look cool but it won't last long enough to sled or shovel. Looks like Old Man winter is getting ready to retire for the season. No luck next week either. Most people forcast 6 inches at worse. I still say about 2 inches.
