Comments (0) BEST ROCK RADIO STATION - 2005

KUPD-FM 97.9

The station may have long ago lost its Morning Mayor, Dave Pratt, but John Holmberg has proven a worthy successor to this FM-dial throne. His "Morning Sickness" reality program has helped build a loyal listener base rivaling Pratt's in just under four years. The music is still pure Ozzfest fare, with bands like Nine Inch Nails, Sevendust, Velvet Revolver, and Audioslave scoring heavy rotation. But with features like the "Mother's Day MILF Contest" and near-nightly airings of the syndicated "Loveline," the Big Red Radio continues to speak as loudly as ever to its party-hardy crowd.

To your morning show, I rarely listen to your morning show but this morning I heard one of your DJ's talking about driving past a 9 year old girl's lemonade stand and shouting F.U. and giving her the finger. Wow, what a complete jerk this guy is. It's one thing to be funny and whacky on the morning but being mean to a little girl is just not cool. And then to keep bragging about it and saying how funny it was? Really?....A nine year old girl? I'm considering calling your sponsor's and letting them know how I feel. Thanks for your consideration. Mike in phx.
