Title: KPYK 1570 AM The Pick of the Dial, Big Bands and Great Singers.
What is it? : Radio station Terrel Texas.
Technical Quality: The signal near downtown Dallas is thin and I can only hear
it in my car during the day. In Terrel, I'm sure its fine.
Innovative Quality: Slightly above average in that they seem to be bringing
back a mix of old standards and radio programs.
Review: It takes a small town radio station to show Dallas how to do radio
right. KPYK has a mix of music from Big Bands and classic pop singers with
specialty radio programming and solid local coverage. The music features songs
one seldom hears anywhere else and that's a plus. For those of us that didn't
grow up with
big bands, it's like hearing standards for the first time. The specialty
programming
includes radio plays : The Twilight Zone, Imagination Theater, and "When Radio
Was" with the still lively Stan Freeberg. Also in house specialties such as
General Manager Len Mohnkern's 'Saturday Date"(note his drawl!), the daily
Musical Milestones plus "Good Day" with Doug Stephan. And finally some real
local coverage of Terrel Government and sports teams. I also liked that there
were few ads, and the little touches like the old timey weather jingle. In an
era of radio consolidation, the individual stations like KPYK stand out a
mile.

amount of good = amount of bad. 2-3 Mostly bad with some redeeming parts. 1-2
Nothing redeemable. 0-1 So bad it is offensively bad and outrages the reviewere

Amen! good work KPYK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we salute you!
Twilight Zone is quite good (EVEN THOUGH THE SOB CARL AMARI IS THE
DIRECTOR/PRODUCER).....................
Imagination Theater is also a GREAT show!!!!!!! (God Bless Jim French!!
-the director/producer).
Jim French - good fellow with a good product!!
Carl Amari - son of a bitch bastard (sends letters - M$-gestopo style -
to FTP/websites............and threatens them to remove RadioShows which
are 50 yrs old or more!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )anything for a buck Carl - fuck
his own mom/daughter for a buck Carl)........boycott "RadioSpirits"!!!!!
in case you could'nt tell I hate greedy fuckers............
final word:
If you like RadioShows and can afford it, buy Jim's Imagination
Theater..................steal the Twilight Zone shows.............don't
give Carl a fucking cent.
peace...
P.S. Harlan Ellison (of Star Trek fame) is another SOB - only in the
area of AudioBooks...................the time is now to defend the
consumer from fascist corporate fuckers and thier lackies (that goes for
the RIAA/MPAA also.....enough is enough!.
peace again......

"He (Saddam Hussein) has not developed any significant capability with
respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project
conventional power against his neighbours."

"We have been successful for the last ten years in keeping
him from developing those weapons and we will continue to be successful."
"He threatens not the United States."
"But I also thought that we had pretty
much removed his stings and frankly for ten years we really have."
'But what is interesting is that with the regime that has been in place
for the past ten years, I think a pretty good job has been done of
keeping him from breaking out and suddenly showing up one day and saying
"look what I got." He hasn't been able to do that.'
