"The Peak"; "The River" -- what are radio stations called where you live?

[Arugula Latte]

It seems every city has stations that go by some geographic or locale-specific feature. Anyone have any particularly sillily named (to coin a phrase) radio stations where you live?

[Taverner]

1. Modesto has "The Eagle"

San Jose used to have "The Bear"

SF has "Alice"

[Arugula Latte]

5. I remember listening to "The Quake" in San Francisco in the

mid-80s ... alternative stuff ... I loved that late great station.

[ornotna]

2. We have "The Hog"

Can I go and puke now?

[Arugula Latte]

4. The Hog -- hah!

I thought you might be from a Midwestern farm state, but ... Florida? :wtf:

[dolo amber]

18. Hey!

We have The Hog here in Milwaukee too. :tinfoilhat: :o

[SeattleGirl]

3. Two that come to mind:

"The Mountain" and "The End".

[Arugula Latte]

7. The End could play the Doors song as a jingle

"This is The End .. beautiful friend."

[SeattleGirl]

9. True, but that's not the kind of music that station plays.

Love that song, though.

[Deep13]

10. The End: 108 f.m.?

I seem to remember a station around here with a similar nickname and it was at the end of the dial.

[WoodyTobiasJr]

6. We have

The Peak
Vibe
The Eagle
Jack FM

[Deep13]

8. Radio Free Ohio; The Buzzard

The Air America franchise and the big f.m. rock and roll station respectively. Not far from here is a central nesting site for migrating buzzards and it is a source of local pride.

[Magrittes Pipe]

11. Hinckley's gotta take pride in *something*

;)

[Deep13]

12. It's a nice town.

Vultures or not. Just stay indoors during the cicata plagues.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. The Pig

:bounce:


Really, though — the thing with radio "names" strikes me as silly, especially when it's stuff like "The Bone" or "The Dude." :eyes:

The Pig's different, though — as its listeners will attest. :D

Bring back cool radio jingles! :bounce:

[HEyHEY]

14. "the beat" "Rock 101" "The fox" - christ can any of these people

Think of original names?

[BreweryYardRat]

15. The Bone.

Best name ever.

We've got the Eagle, too, but that's about it for creatively named stations.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. We have......ninetyfour seven........

The Wave~

They claim to play light jazz and like that........I enjoy it.

[Cannikin]

17. "The Edge" and "your official station for HOGball"

[tjwmason]

19. Swan FM.

The Swan being the emblem of Buckinghamshire.

[ikojo]

20. I'm in St Louis so it should come as no surprise

that there is a station called the Arch. We also have the River (alt rock of some sort) and the Bull (country). I don't listen to corporate radio so those are the only three I know of.
