The radio stations here are not like they use to be. The Dee-jay is a robot and is told what to say. The Dee-jay is more like a switcher or button pusher and cannot use their own personality. The radio stations only offer one sided views when it comes to talk radio. It is all and way too conservative.The T.V. stations are just like the radio stations, all and way too conservative. WQLT AND THE BIG DOG WILL NOT PLAY SONGS LIKE FORTUNATE SON BY CCR. WHY? Because they're conservative! The Dee-Jay works for minimum wage because the radio stations can't afford real air personalities in the Shoals. Radio stations got congress to pass a bill that you no longer have to have a 3rd class license to work in radio, so radio stations can now hire anyone off the street to be a so-called air personality.
Many moons ago, radio stations in the shoals area were in competition with each other over the news and weather. Although the stations do plenty of weather reports today, they dont do any real news. WQLT at one time had a top notch news team, and competed very well against WLAY and all of the other little bitty stations around. WQLT needs to get their news department back and force these radio stations and news papers to keep people informed. The problem is these radio stations want to impress people by seeing how conservative they are.
