I've shared a bed with my husband since 1987 (we've been married for 12, you do the math). For years, his clock radio was tuned to WBAB-102.3 and the radio alarm kicks in usually aroun 6:30 AM. Kevin's able to get moving right away. It usually takes me at least 30 minutes to move my big toe. The DJ for most of that time was Bob Buchmann - who wasn't offensive but didn't do much for me in the morning. Not that much does, by the way. As I said, itt takes me forever to wake up -- and I'm usually a little grumpy.

Some time ago, Buchmann left BAB to go over to Q104.3 -- but my stubborn Irish husband didn't feel it was necessary to change the station. After months of bitching and moaning about the two morons -- Roger and JP -- who took over the morning slot, Kevin finally switched, largely because I just got more grumpy -- and he didn't think that was possible.

So now JP is in hot water because he decided to use the morning show to inform the children of Long Island that there is no Santa Claus. I don't buy his after-the-fact explanation. I don't have kids and I'm outraged. I can't image how I'd feel if I did have kids. If his message was to parents, why did the promos encourage kids to listen in? It was as mean-spirited and deceptive a thing as I've ever seen. The cynic in me says it was all calculated to generate publicity -- which it did -- and boost ratings. If it was, I hope it backfires. Permanently.

(No one does headlines better than the NY Post. Too bad the reportings sucks. Call number 106.1 is WBLI, not WBAB. Two separate stations guys.)
