NYT Article on College Radio

College Radio Maintains Its Mojo


I personally found this very interesting, but my time at 89.7 FM KMNR-Rolla might be corrupting my ability to judge articles about radio. One thing that did worry me - there's a quote from one DJ at the profiled station saying that he doesn't listen to the radio in his car. Heinous! Personally, I have KMNR rocking it out whenever possible: It wakes me up using a clock-radio, it keeps me company in my car on the way to class, and it distracts me during what should be homework time. Why work at a station if you don't like listening to the other DJ's? That's just narcissistic.
