King Charles III, a classical music fan who has studied the cello, piano and trumpet, released an eclectic playlist on Monday featuring 17 artists, including Beyoncé, Bob Marley and Grace Jones.
Charles said, “Music has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories flooding back from the deepest recesses of our memory, to comfort us in times of sadness, and to take us to distant places . . .”
The king is absolutely right, and you can’t bring those sweet memories back unless you’re playing the original hits. Pay attention, music directors, and thanks for the memories.
When I’m feeling a little green around the gills or just in slightly over my head, I always head for Ivar’s ’cause nobody fries up a better panacea food.

PET PEEVE–
Broadcasters and former broadcasters may be noticing an uptick in bad grammar and spelling in newspapers, blogs and social media.
The average American, depending on their upbringing, may be prone to errors. Those in the broadcast industry should be held to higher standards.
Yet, we see errors in usage of the English language in national press, major blogs and the social media of broadcasters.
Laziness. It has to be laziness. Alcohol. Maybe drink has taken a toll.
Maybe ex-broadcasters have lost hope and have turned to drugs. All is lost.
Sloppiness. We see it daily, time and time again, on newspaper and tv and radio station websites.
When you see something-say something. Call it out. Email the editor. Whether it be CNN or the NY Times, FOX 13 or KJR FM.
We, at QZVX, always make good on errors brought to our attention. Feel free to critique our grammar and spellink errors.
And share with us what other goofs you see on the Internet, here in the FORUM comments.
Jason, It’s NO WONDER! Look at the multi-tudes who allowed the propaganda of a PLANNED-demic to reach their core and they went out and took the so-called ‘MANDATED’ jabs and boosters and donned their masks! 17-Million DEAD worldwide and who knows how many others were deprived of livelihoods by the disasterous effects of the shots and boosters – for a pandemic that DID NOT EXIST! I refer everyone to Dr. David Martin, Dr. Tom Cowan, Dr. Amandha Vollmer and many others who were telling the terrible truth. Not only is there a reduction in cognition, given all the weird grammar and spelling errors, there have also been ENUMERABLE car accidents, people running off the roads, into the guard rails and general accident rate increases that are unexplainable. Also, given that I monitor Pierce County Fire on a regular basis, the other day in the span of a 30-minute period, there were ALS *(Advanced Life Support) calls for THREE Cardiac Arrests! That’s unheard of! Of course, the media has been to blame from the git-go, e.g., the dancing nurses and all the influential propaganda bribes of FREE MOVE TICKETS and Free Hamburgers and Fries… IF YOU GO GET THE SHOTS! What’s wrong with America’s PSYCHE? Wake up people, you’ve ALL had the wool pulled over your eyes! DO THE RESEARCH and see how you’ve been hoodwinked!
I too am beyond disgusted with the poor grammar and sloppy pronunciation of common words; going….gunna. For a few years at KXRO I was occasionally directed to the NBC Pronunciation Guide as a hint to “get it right the first time”!
Daily press conferences at the White House emphasize the difference in how a large percentage of young people speak the language, as compared to say, Boomers.
Boomers were not taught to put emphasis on any part of words like BUTTON.
The youth, up to and including those in their late 30s, lose it slightly before the T, putting the emphasis on the ON. Sounds like BUTT IN rather than BUTTON.
All words like this, CURTAIN becomes CURT IN, etc.
The word should flow. No stop-pause or special emphasis.
Sounds like they are stumbling at the T. T is not a stop or pause, and not a signal to emhasize what comes after the T.
You have to ask, what changed in the educational system, as far as teaching ENGLISH?
I know math had an overhaul.
I dread to think what changes they made to History.
Which Seattle radio station had a “WHERE YOUR FRIENDS ARE” jingle? Was it “too soon” since KIRO had been using the term “the Friendly Station?”
Talk amongst yourselves…
Years later, it still bothers me. I thought I would get over it, in time. If you are like me, 6’2″, gray hair and somewhat curmudgeonly, it still bothers you that Len Sampson replaced Buddy Webber at KOMO 4.
I’m watching Little Bites and was curious about the star, with whom I’m unfamiliar. This is an actual AI bio, on a schlock site called Net Worth Planet:
Krsy Fox (Knee High Fox, Chrissy Fox, Christine Danielle Connolly) was entered into the world at the place of Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada,on 14 February, 1984. However, by profession, she is a Actress, Editor, Producer.
Those monkeys still tapping away on their Smith-Coronas on behalf of Wm. Shakespeare should have no worries about being passed over for future gigs.
If you have a public library card and a smart tv, download the KANOPY app on your tv. Follow the instructions, set up an account–this links to your tv. You may find some rare and hard to find movies, old made for tv movies, documentaries AND MORE (as the commercials say) and… etc.
Watching a made for tv movie that I saw on the night it aired, and not again until tonite. Today’s technology has opened up a treasure trove of goodies.
“Picture Mommy Dead” – The movie stars Don Ameche, Zsa Zsa Gabor…
I guess the writing was on the wall for KGO after they switched away from Talk years ago. Not sure that News/Talk will survive on AM alone, even at 810 AM.
Check out SAN, Straight Arrow News.
This is what local TV News should look like, at least initially, based on current technology.
A full-service news platform. Also, capsule summaries delivered to readers on X and other major social media platforms, drawing viewers to the station website. Serious news items, not The Question of the Day, or Hollywood gossip.
TV stations should be adopting these features now. Stories should be delivered in audio, text and video. Currently, tv and radio station websites are only an afterthought.
There is no future for local tv unless they adapt to an online delivery method. The current OTA model is not sustainable in the new environment.
Local tv will be available through subscriptions — without the cable tv middleman. This has to happen and local tv stations have to adopt the new technology and delivery methods, for news AND programming.

GUESTBOOK | COMMENT GUIDELINES
From today’s (3/10/25) New York Times:
King Charles III, a classical music fan who has studied the cello, piano and trumpet, released an eclectic playlist on Monday featuring 17 artists, including Beyoncé, Bob Marley and Grace Jones.
Charles said, “Music has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories flooding back from the deepest recesses of our memory, to comfort us in times of sadness, and to take us to distant places . . .”
The king is absolutely right, and you can’t bring those sweet memories back unless you’re playing the original hits. Pay attention, music directors, and thanks for the memories.
Of the many reasons I dislike Bill Nye, the fact that he is a Nazi, really pisses me off the most.
I often ask myself, why did Dino, Desi, and Billy never make it in the music business?
Words every broadcaster should know the definition of–
When I’m feeling a little green around the gills or just in slightly over my head, I always head for Ivar’s ’cause nobody fries up a better panacea food.
I see you slipped into an Italian accent at the end there.
I don’t watch tv very often, but when I do it’s reruns of Twilight Zone or The Sopranos. Never tire of those.
Adults must stop referring to a gun as a “pew pew”.
John, are you or were you a firefighter in Pierce County?
From:
To:
Why this feeling? Why this glow?
Why the thrill when you say hello?
It’s a strange and tender magic you do,
Mister Wonderful, that’s you.
I’m missing the point.

And maybe airplanes falling out of the sky. Seems we have had a few of those lately.

History is being altered as we speak. The news media can’t keep up, much less the schools.
Which Seattle radio station had a “WHERE YOUR FRIENDS ARE” jingle? Was it “too soon” since KIRO had been using the term “the Friendly Station?”
Talk amongst yourselves…
I don’t know, but KAYO had a “Home of the friendly fellers, that’s KAYO!” jingle.
Years later, it still bothers me. I thought I would get over it, in time. If you are like me, 6’2″, gray hair and somewhat curmudgeonly, it still bothers you that Len Sampson replaced Buddy Webber at KOMO 4.

The word “However” is misplaced. 80 years from now, will Krsy Fox be “exited” from this mortal plane or maybe re-routed?
You caught it! A few of us literate mortals do still exist.
More good internet radio: from Cork, Ireland. Irish and American classic country, 99% by Irish artists. Nice and mellow.

Also on mytuner, radiogarden etc.
Coincidentally, I am thinking about buying property in Brigadoon.
Bill Taylor sent this along.
Here’s a site that lets you listen to any radio station in the world.

That website had to be a mammoth project to complete –Jason
That’s the site I just mentioned above. I’ve been using it for about a year,
Ah yess! I have tried it out a few times. An amazing site. Very impressive.
Scotty Brink on KHJ, and some other fairly talented personalities. October 1966 in Los Angeles.

“Picture Mommy Dead” – The movie stars Don Ameche, Zsa Zsa Gabor…
WAPO headline: “Jimmy Carter, 39th president and Nobel Peace Prize winner, dies at 100, his son says”
Sounds like a reliable source to me.
Which President’s SON said that??? OK, Carter’s. He would be a credible source.
KSFO is moving to 810.
I guess the writing was on the wall for KGO after they switched away from Talk years ago. Not sure that News/Talk will survive on AM alone, even at 810 AM.
Yes, we reported that on November 19th. https://www.qzvx.com/2024/11/19/san-francisco-cumulus-determined-to-bury-kgo-once-and-for-all/
