Since 2007 KDX Worldround Radio has served the listener who built it, me of course, as a solution to poor radio programming available in the local area. From time to time I tune the dial to be sure that the poor programming is still going, and am disappointed all over again by what is heard.
The majority of local stations broadcast religious programming which is never any different as there's so little to say about the patch-work of children's short stories that comprise religion. The rest of the programming centers on perpetual sports including numerical game statistics and intrusive gossip about the lives of adult game playing "professionals".
In the middle of the night several nationally syndicated shows specialize in small talk, last night hearing a host describe his laundry circulation based on how often he changes his socks, and the imminent appearance of the Anti Christ set in a science fiction frame.
It is therefore delightful to own a station completely under my own control that can be programmed at or above the special school level. You'd think more people would start their own transmitters.
