KERA

Welcome to my page about KERA 90.1, aka "KDIT" (K-Dan-in-Tyler).

My advice to you, the KERA (or other public radio listener

First of all, timeshift your radio to MP3 so you can listen when you want, how you want, and to what you want.

Second, let your local affilliate know what you'd like to hear. Not that that they'll listen.

My advice to Jeff Lucchsinger, station director of KERA

KERA needs more stuff like:
- Fresh Air
- The World
- Car Talk
- Marketplace
- Morning Edition, Weekend Edition, All Things Considered
- This American Life
- Rabbit Ears Radio
- Talk of the Nation
- radio drama
- BBC overnight
- Joe Frank
- New American Radio
- Sundays at Six (locally produced)
and stop wasting the station's (and subscribers') money on:
- Diane Rehm. Good... lord... why... does... she... have... a... radio show. Her guests are good, but her attitude is a grandmotherly "well, somebody ought to do something!" trope. Real crap. The only time the show is listenable is when a guest sits in for her.
- Tavis Smiley Weak, very weak.
- The People's Pharmacy Borderline kookery.
- That Dan in Tyler kook. What the hell is wrong with this guy, and why don't the KERA producers shut him down? It's an embarrasment to have one monomaniac dominate the lines.
One Last Rant
And for Pete's sake: cut out the self-congratulatory attitude about "no commercials" when underwriters are definitely airing commercials. Just taking out a single call-to-action word like "go" or "call" doesn't mean it's not a commercial, you smarmy bastids. You may have the FCC fooled, but your audience is bright and they know the deal. Ever heard the theme to Marketplace? Hint: "we bring good things to life".
I'd rather have NPR content on a commercial station than listen to the whine-a-thons.
