Epic Fail of the Day
I can hear the song of the ice cream truck at the beach. It is a muzak, digital-chime version of "Fur Elise". Epic Fail in using classical music to sell popsicles to 10 year old kids.

Epic Fail of the Day (Continuous)
96.9 WTKK vs. 90.9 WBUR
96.9 = Entertainment
Format: Belligerent, ridiculously ignorant hosts spout bile regarding topics about which they understand very little. Listeners call in, are interrupted, insulted and have their points ignored. Never once have I heard someone other than the hosts and callers discussing the topic at hand.
90.9 = Information
Format: Professional and educated host speaks with at least one recognized expert/author regarding a wide variety of topics, all of which tie into everyday life in profound and important ways. Listeners call in, are treated courteously and the points that they make more often than not lead the discussion in new directions.
Listening to 96.9 for any purpose other than amusement = Epic Fail of the Day.
