You'll Like 'The Radio Wave'

Saturday July 11, 2009
It's not often I promote another radio newsletter (aside from the one I send out each week) but Ian MacRae - who I featured in an interview recently - sent me a copy of his and I'd liked it.

MacRae has been "pushing out" (as he says) The Radio Wave for 7 years now and it's very amusing. The most recent issue covers Howard Stern's "wack packer", Ivy Supersonic and her legal problems, a Huntsville, Alabama morning host who was suspended after telling listeners officials had moved voting for Democrats to the following day, people in New York state receiving radio on their TVs - even when they're turned off, and a woman suing WMMS/Cleveland after being hit in the head by a beer bottle thrown from the stage buy a drunken radio personality.
