johny c Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 What a hard case. There was a doc on tv a few years ago called Newzeld about how our accent came about and how we have changed over the years. It said we have 3 types here and the funny thing is I have a mix of 2 of them lol. So that would make 4. It also mention how we dont worry about using proper english anymore or the queens english. Local all the way now.

no1nufan Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 From what I understand, local "small" stations are emerging fast. It's almost pushing back Satellite radio. I can see it too. I used to know a lot of people that had XM or Sirius, because it was the "cool" thing to have on your dashboard in your car. You could drive a beater, and the satellite radio head stook out. Hell, I used to have one too, until I realized that $40 every 3 months sucked! I still get it at home on DISH Network anyways. Satellite Radio is fazing out and the trend is going back to more local feeds. That's good news. I wish I could find a link to back myself up right now.
