97.1 Free FM no more.

As some of you may know, CBS radio affiliate 97.1 here in L.A. decided to switch formats from talk radio, to something much more needed here. Top 40! Because 10 other Top 40 stations weren’t enough. Anyways, I miss Adam, Frosty Heidi and Frank, and Mr. Leykis already, but at least Adam is already hosting his podcasts on carollaradio.com . Go check it out, and spread the word!

Verizon Fios is quick!

16.8 mb/s download, and 1.73 mb/s upload
