I do miss the DJs of my childhood local rock station, WHJY, Providence. They were with me in the car for many, many hours. It's nostalgia though, I tuned out when they hired a program manager that played too much early 80's rock, like Van Halen, and not enough alternative. I tuned out after the 400th time the PM DJ dunked on his cohost's weight, the 347th time the AM DJs made a prank call, and the 500th time the evening DJ objectified his sultry-voiced intern. Later, I cancelled SiriusXM because I couldn't listen DJs anymore, not one more word.

I miss the locality, the connection, the need to cope outside the safe zone for nothing other than lack of options. Despite the nostalgia, and sensing what is lost, I think I would make the same choice again. Mostly so I never have to hear Jump again.
