I'd rather listen to nothing, hear that Clear Channel! NOTHING! My car radio isn’t turned on anymore period, I was so upset about WRNX the radio isn’t worthy of my ears anymore.

It's well worth that. I would never pay their $12 again but I have something to listen to in the car again. I gave up, Sirius sent me a come back offer of $25 for 6 months. It’s well worth that.

I miss WRNX! Where will Dave Sears go? Maybe he can get a gig on WFCR as a reporter. I'd definitely listen to 'FCR more if he were on air. I can’t get the River in Springfield. I miss WRNX!

Wed, 09 Nov 2011 01:38:01 +0000 http://Synthetic-X.com/?p=817#comment-460 I'm gonna second Bill on this one (you knew I would). The River is a great radio station that you may not be able to get in your car 100% of the time, but try listening to them streaming sometime to get a taste before you give up on music in the valley! WRSI.com. They do play Tom Waits, lots of other stuff that I like (and I know you like). I also like Monte in the morning, which I listen to if I'm not in the mood for Morning Edition. Lots of great, really incredible local content. I totally understand your heartbreak - we lost a lot of great stations when I was a teenager in upstate NY. Some *were* actually big stations on a repeater, probably even Clear Channel, but there were options. Now, not so much. I’m gonna second Bill on this one (you knew I would).

From an actual CD. If you haven't listened lately, perhaps you should. Especially give a try to Jim Neill's show on Wednesday nights from 7 to 10 and Jim Olsen's Back Porch on Sunday mornings.

I previously had been unable to have a chance in hell at getting anything but last place. I got it, and now I am happy at the amount of detail they put in here. I would still very much like to see you smash with opponents. That would be fun. It still serves a specific niche – but I like racing, any racing… as long as I can race.

Rest in peace, WRNX. I have a lot of fond memories of listening to Dave Sears on that station during the mid-1990s. I live near Boston and during my occasional day trips to the Pioneer Valley hearing WRNX on the radio made me feel like I had never left. Thanks for the info. Rest in peace, WRNX.

I have been a fan since it started broadcasting. I am currently out of power and just searched for this depressing news. Time to change my favorite button on the radio. Good luck to Dave and the other DJ's. I am so disappointed by this confirmation of the loss of WRNX. I have been a fan since it started broadcasting.

My son used to call in to Dave and Kelsi to win prizes on the morning show (he won several!) and our entire family loved the music. The morning show always had a different vibe than other stations - Donny's Used Cars, Mayor Mike, John Allen, Steve Cantara & Denise Vozella - opinions were expressed and explored, and folks weren't afraid to take a risk in that vein. Then there was the music - Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, Flaming Lips, Tom Waits, and so many others in addition to the classics (Beatles, Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones, Allman Brothers, etc.) and local artists - remember Dar Williams' singing Pink Floyd? Honestly, we will not find this mix anywhere else. Personally, I like to listen to intelligent discourse and excellent music in the morning as opposed to canned news and bombastic blather. So sad that this is a thing of the past. I began listening to WRNX soon after it went on the air.
