I listen to AM talk radio every day for about 3 hours. Basically, from the time I wake up until I get to work, I am listening to the radio.
There are three AM talk radio stations in the region, with only one that is based in the communities close to me, with relevant advertising. It also has the Clay & Buck show, then Ben Shapiro, during the time I am listening. The other two have Sean Hannity, which I cannot stand. So I listen to the local station.
However, they are so incompetent that I wonder how they can even have a station.
Every single day, there are excessive periods of dead air, commercials playing over each other, same commercial being ran back to back...
Oops, they just went off the air as I was typing this... Now they are back on but the feed is cutting out. It's sunny and calm outside.
I used to work in radio years ago for an AM/FM station much smaller than this one and dead air was not tolerated. Nor were the huge amounts of mistakes that are occurring daily.
This station has been bad for years, so not a change in staff. I got so frustrated that I actually filed a complaint with the FCC last year because their amount of errors and dead air were actually violating federal rules for broadcast.
But, of course nothing changed.
I've lived all over the country and listened to AM radio everywhere and never experienced such a thing.
Just curious as to if others here have a local station that is plagued with annoying errors and incompetence.
