K1043

Chicago has revised its radio stations.  It's killed Q101 and has changed 104.3 multiple times, the latest was Jack FM before it became K1043, which is what it is now.  I always listened to it here and there, but it was never a super favorite of my pre-sets.


Well, things have changed.  Eddie and Jobo (anyone remember them from the old B96?) host the morning show and they can be fun.  They have the senseless phone call where they call up some random business and spout of random stupidities until the person hangs up.  It's things like "If a smoke detector detects heat, wouldn't putting popcorn on the ceiling do the same thing?"


However, the best part?  The music!  I'm suddenly obsessed with the music selection they have.  They've played "kyrie" by Mister Mister, "The Motown Song" by Rod Stewart, which, by the way, I'm OBSESSED WITH!  I roll the windows down and crank that puppy like an obnoxious high school kid!  Love it!  And, listening to it in the morning seriously puts me in the best of moods.


So, although Chicago has notoriously messed up multiple "staple" radio stations and has others that just play the same thing over and over, this station has been a wonderful breath of fresh air.  I just wonder what song I'll be jamming to tomorrow.
