Well, you won’t have to worry about online radio for long; the royalty barons will care of that. I’m totally in love with Last.fm, fwiw.

Saturday nights on KFAI remain some of the best few hours of radio around; the rest of the schedule is, by definition, a crap shoot. Radio K is ok, if you don’t mind the awkward young DJs.

Sornie, You’ve nailed the biggest opportunity. There’s a number of local projects that I hope will address it.

YUCK!!! I hate the new LOVE 105! They will tank with the new format! Bring back DRIVE Playing new music first!

We have to thank ABC, Clear Channel and CBS for their creative programming.

YOU SUCK! i hope it tanks so you can bring back the station who made new bands starting off be able to make a living. drive105 was classy, this is just cheesey there are 10 other stqations that are teh same out there, you guys blow. my mom was even angry that you guys changed the station. and thanks for the warnign, doofus.

I HOPE YOU ROT! What the hell? Does clear channel have to take everything that has some originality?
LOVE 105!?!? Who the hell thought that lame ass idea? Hey I have great idea. DON’T LET CORPORATE IDIOTS DECIDE ON WHAT’S GOOD MUSIC TASTE.

So I come back from vacation, go to work hoping to hear a little of the Clash before I have to listen to crappy 1970’s singer/songwriters and bad lite rock at work, and what started playing? Chicago. No thank you. All day long I listen to that poison, and all I want is a little cure or jack johnson, and now that’s taken away from me too. Bring it Back!

As a MPLS native, I never thought I would say this, but Milwaukee, where I live now, has better radio, when you factor in the end of the drive and the beginning of HD radio. I’m listening to 97.3 the brew HD2- classic alternative right now -just finished a smiths tune and now some alphaville.

I think they stream so its a decent option if you’re at a computer.

I have to agree with all the posts!! Especially the fact that Minnesota has terrible radio-and you can’t even begin to compare the Current to Drive 105-listened to it-boring!!! I too will have to go get myself XM satelite!!

I’ve been webstreaming Drive 105 since I moved to Tulsa. I even e-mailed the “alternative” station here (104.5 the edge) and recommended that they webstream Drive 105 to see how alternative radio is done well. Joke’s on me, and everyone who loved Drive 105. It’s now Love 105??? That’s disgusting.

i cry everyday.

I cry too. Cities 97 doesn’t even compare. And I can’t listen to the Current 24/7. Thanks, Disney – you just can’t preserve a good thing if it cost you a little profit, can you?

What a shock!! I, too, am in the military and while working at night would dial into my computer and listen. Nothing compared-oldie alternative(80’s) to the fresh new groups-it was a great mix. I was shocked that they were so low on the marketshare, I wouldn’t have guessed that. There is nothing left like in in Minneapolis-the others suck. Back to CD’s!

What really upsets me is I never noticed a push in advertising to try and boost the market share. I myself only happened upon the station and was pleasantly suprised with the great mix of old new and local alt music…sigh!…it was great. I just don’t see the logic behind the format change. When this fails I hope they bring back drive.

I hate this!
every 3 years they change….. GURRR!
Bring back drive…. it was the ONLY station I loved to listen to….

What a suck ass radio station this has turned out to be - fire them all - they all should lose their jobs for this sell-out move. Love Stnks - that should be their jingle. Love (105) Stinks.

YOU GUYS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BRING BACK DRIVE>>>LOVE WHAT IS THAT THERE ARE NO GOOD STATIONS ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Radio has dispersed into the deep hellish pits of everything boring and repeptetive. Drive was the only station that played all the good music without overplaying anything and still keeping in touch with the GOOD old music. The problem with the other stations is that you can listen to them for one hour and hear the same some three times, you might as well be listening to a boring mix CD over and over and over…

Well everyone. For me an Oklahoma resident I came across Drive 105 by doing a search for MSP radio stations and I listened online EVERDAY. One week before my first trip ever to Minneapolis I was like Fucking sweet I can tune my radio to Drive 105 and then one day I click my bookmark in explorer only to be greeted with an asshole PINK love 105 banner. I literally wanted to break my computer. I was and am still upset because I plan to move to Minneapolis and now the one station I thought I would listen to up there is gone. Don’t fret though LOVE sucks so much donkey shit it will tank within a year.

What is sad is that this station was the great rev 105. The current is ok but they play too much eclectic music. Stick to a cool play list & I’m happy. I hope so-called love 105 tanks.
