What else is new. Calling a station "The Brew" in GR is dumb idea from the get go.

"more awful morning radio"

Is there any other kind anymore? Except for maybe a few dozen decent stations in the US, most is awful day and night!
I confirm all my information through a high, white whore's souse!

Don't get me wrong - I have nothing against beer tents! :hat

The moniker would've been a better fit for a station with an eclectic or progressive playlist, not a station whose audience is overwhelmingly blue collar.
I dunno... I tend to think that even the blue collar beer drinker still takes some pride in the name. I mean, I'm not a beer drinker at all and I still think it's kinda cool that GR is called the Beer City.

Now, having said that I think a stations names is honestly pretty low on listeners decision to tune in or not. I can't imagine anyone saying: "Oh... 'The Brew'... well, I'm a microbrew drinker... that must mean this stations is geared specifically to me!"

Will be laughing my ass off later this year when this station (yet again) falls below a 2 share.
Really? You'll be "laughing your ass off"? I couldn't imagine laughing my ass off if whatever business you are in did poorly. Have you been hanging out with Starky, you know, the guy that got fired and can't move on?

I thought the station had something when it was heading in a Mainstream Rock direction, and then they messed it up by throwing in oddball Alt tracks... and then by blowing it all up again and going back to well-toasted classic rock. This crap just continues the descent...

It's kind of odd that a bad morning show can hurt listeners in other dayparts
