you can get the equipment easier now then you used to.
for the original bomb (CPR 100.1 FM), we had to get the equipment from canada.
serves them rooty poot suckas right. we showed them the format and they didnt stay true to the people. fuck a local show for 2 hours a week? get that shit crackin every night! there is too much fuckin talent here in sac for them to just hand pick a couple of tracks and artists to showcase. most of the cats up there know NOTHING about the local scene or the history of it.
I'm tellin' you, if sactownradio.com or any other stations like that decided to turn their shit up a notch, ksfm and kbmk would take a big loss listener wise.
let the kids and suburbanites have the mainstream radio. if we go hard enough, people will go looking for you where ever you are at.
when we first started the pirate station back in the day, we made enough noise that the people would call ksfm and tell them to watch out, there was a new station out there that is kickin yall's asses. we even made it a point to call them up live on air to ridicule them. because we were an illegal station, they paid us no mind. once revenue from the community started to roll in and advertisers jumped ship from them to us....that's when calls to the feds were made, but not before "representatives" from "investors" came to see us about starting a new station. We had a few meetings, listened to hours and hours of show tapes and watched video of our stations events. They concluded that there was indeed a market for an "urban oriented" station, and promises were made to include us in the opening of the new station.
several months later, 103.5 goes on the air with no one from the original station even involved at ALL. these bastards went so far as to even play our mixes, just edited them and dropped their station ID all over them. even used OUR phone number (457-BOMB) as their call letters so the people would equate the new station with the old.
