This post is so bland without pictures. I guess I’ll add some of the 3D screenshots I got. They look weird until you pop them into a 3D viewer.

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

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

I can’t get the River in Springfield. 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’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.

FWIW, the River has played Tom Waits 13 times in the last four days, including a couple of tracks from his fantastic new CD, and tracks from most or all of the artists Patty mentions.

In fact, I’m playing a new track from him on our kids’ show this coming Saturday morning (8 to 10). 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.

WRNX lost me after they lost Cantara!

It still serves a specific niche – but I like racing, any racing… as long as I can race. 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.

Thanks for the info. 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.

I am so disappointed by this confirmation of the loss of 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 began listening to WRNX soon after it went on the air. 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.

Yeah nothing is downloading, move your cursor to the downloading bar and you’ll notice that the speed you’re downloading at is way too high. I think it’s a really good way to avoid counterfit versions.

I couldn’t agree more. I have been in a slow, steady state of mourning for the WRNX that I knew and loved since ClearChannel took over. It really has not been the same since then. Nonetheless, it was better than nothing. I hope that Dave Sears finds a home on a station that appreciates him because he is so talented and entertaining. Rachel Maddow actually got her start at WRNX as Dave in the Morning’s newsperson. That, alone, should be proof that this was a wonderfully independent and unusual station that attracted talented personalities. There really is no station that compares in the Pioneer Valley. I will miss it greatly. We are still in the Northeast, right? Just down the road from Northampton and Amherst, where the open minded and educated are not the minority?

Just when you insert DVD in your ROM. Try to launch trhu autorun. & then click install. when msg pop’s up with the function ” next “…
Just hit next, then “download now” it will copy files from DVD.
But if you will hit Download now in origin, without DVD’s autorun. It will download whole shit from WEB.

Man, that was annoying. Even had you click a button that says “download”. Somehow, I actually had it downloading from the internet. I cancelled everything, re-ran the dvd and now it is “downloading” from the DVD.

Thanks.
