104.1 has so far changed formats 3 times this year. At the beginning of the year it was a classical music station. Then it changed formats to become "George 104", which was sort of a mix station. It's catch was that it wouldn't play ads for 104 days. Also, there wasn't a DJ- it was just pre-recorded messages from the guy who played Mr. Peterman on Seinfeld about how great the station was, and that you could call in to leave a message to provide feedback on the station. I think their tagline was "We play whatever we want!"
That whole no advertising for 104 days must have tanked the station, though, because now it is Praise 104! Over the weekend I thought, gee, they sure are playing some interesting songs... but according to their motto, they can playing "whatever we want!", so OK. Then I heard a commercial- thanks for listening to Praise 104. Praise? That's right- 104.1 is now a Gospel station.
Gospel has its place in radio- just not on my pre-set buttons.
I can't believe I am saying this, but I actually miss the George and Mr. Peterman's soothing voice. *sigh* At least with 104's history I know that they will be changing formats soon. Praise can't hang around too long. I give it 3 months tops.

FAVE: Burglar's Prothetic Leg Falls Off During Robbery
I haven't posted anything in a while, mainly because I wasn't seeing anything very inspiring. But this story was on cnn today "Police: ATM thief's fake leg falls off in escape bid"
Apparently the guy was trying to steal an ATM machine by yanking it from a store (yeup, it wasn't even outside) with a chain tied to his pickup. So right away we know he's smart (cause who's gonna notice that?). But unfortunately there was one unforseen occurance- his prothetic leg fell off as he tried to run away from the cops. Ooops.
My grandparents both had fake prothetic legs (one each, thankyouverymuch) and I can't imagine either of them running with them, much less from the cops. I wonder if the cops laughed when they saw the guy's leg fall off, or if they were mortified. Ha, funny to think about.
