I want to know what is wrong with San Antonio radio stations. I love my city all over; from the pro team on a losing streak to the CONSTANT construction to the not-blue River Walk water, but if you’re new to the city, you better have XM radio.

My daily trips around the dial most of the time go like this: I get in the car and change the radio back from AM to FM, starting with 98.5 FM. They might sneak in a song in between the 10-minute Hallmark Institute (my bad, Bruce, Hallmark College) commercials and the whack Carmen Calls and if they do, it’s Duffle Bag Boy.

So I switch to 106.7 FM and SUPRISE it’s a song The Beat JUST played. Remember when Power first came on? They did this promotion where they played like 1,000 or 2,000 straight songs without any commercials. And I’m not sure they promoted this, but there weren’t too many repeats either. But now it’s like they have to make up for it.

So then I switch it over to 100.3 FM and THEY’RE playing commercials talking about the OTHER station playing too many commercials, so while they’re too busy mudslinging I change it over to 97.3 FM, (that other station) and guess what THEY’RE doing?

So then I go to 90.1 FM. This station is like the MTVU of the local radio. They play a lot of alternative and it’s a pretty good station, but I’m new to it and the music and I’m not too familiar with the songs (but they do have Hip-Hop Monday nights from 7 p.m.-midnight and they’re the only station in S.A. to play Lupe Fiasco’s “Superstar”).

So after going all around I always end up at the same spot, The Ticket 760 on AM. And I didn’t forget MIX, as hard as I’m looking for music on the radio, I’ll never get so desparate as to go to 96.1. I REFUSE to listen to any station that still has “Gold Digger” in regular rotation.
