You're in the

You're in the Perk, the gold standard of paranormal radio.

And now, here's Gene Steinberg.

We have another co-host.

At the end of the year, we'll have 50 co-hosts, ladies and gentlemen, or we'll have just the four we have now, Nick Redfern, Chris O'Brien, Paul Kimble, and a special powercast, welcome to Greg Bishop. Hey there, welcome aboard. Now, as our listeners know, I started in this crazy business working for traditional radio, a real radio station.

And, you know, you never know what that means to anybody. I don't think it means very much.

But the fact of the matter is that you work for pirate radio.

I don't know if I worked for pirate radio. There was a pirate radio station in Los Angeles called KBLT.

It ran from 1998 to 2000, and I was on from a few months after it started up until when they got busted by the FCC, and then they went back on the air again, and the FCC busted them again, and then that was it.

But for two years, I was, yeah, I was broadcasting on an unauthorized FM frequency in Los Angeles.

And it actually won best radio station in Los Angeles two years in a row by the LA Weekly, I think.

Now, that's interesting, too.

Why couldn't they just get a regular traditional broadcast license, or can you even get those anymore? If you've got a couple million dollars, you can

maybe think about possibly getting a radio station license. I think it's probably more than a million

dollars. That's why the only radio you hear is stations that are owned by mega corporations.

Those are the only ones that can afford it.

So I think that's why people voted the station like that, because it was so different, you know,

it was just basically a bunch of people who were really into music and the scene and talk and things like that,

doing exactly what they wanted to.

That seems to be a recipe for a good time most of the time.

Also a recipe for online radio, as a matter of fact.

But part of the situation in the broadcast industry is this.
