(June 1, 2007) ... It's hurricans season again, and I don't mean the University of Miami. We're currently updating the Hurricane Info On South Florida Radio page, and it will be ready soon. Scroll down a bit for info about Red Cross hand-crankable emergency radios that will even charge your cellphone. The Neal Boortz Commencement Speech (Atlanta, GA -- June, 2007) ... The The Neal Boortz Commencement Speech is odd in that it has never been delivered at a college or a university. Boortz wrote it to protest the fact that such an invitation has never been offered! "The irony'" says Boortz "is that this commencement speech has been more widely distributed, and has been the subject of more comment than any commencement speech that actually has been delivered at any college or university in the past 50 years. Read The Neal Boortz Commencement Speech, which can also be found in his book, The Terrible Truth About Liberals. Boortz's latest book is Somebody's Gotta Say It. Boortz is heard weekdays from 9 'til midnight on WLVJ 1040. Dave McBride Has Left The Building (W. Palm Beach, FL -- May 1, 2007) --- South Florida's young radio version of Andy Rooney, Dave McBride, has left the WJNO building. His clever and idiosyncratic Saturday morning news, commentary, and music program, has been cancelled by Clear Channel for the same reason they fire everyone. To cut costs. If you miss Dave's show, click here to plaster his picture all over this page.

Bald Britney Featured on Schnitt Billboard (Tampa, FL -- May 31, 2007) ... Clear Channel's Todd Schnitt may be one of the busiest radio people in Florida, with two different daily radio programs on two different Tampa-area Clear Channel stations. (Like Joyce Kaufman used to do for James Crystal here.) In the afternoons, he does The Schnitt Show, which originates at WFLA and is heard on WIOD. But mornings he calls himself MJ Kelli, doing a morning show not heard in south Florida. Recently a hairless Britney Spears (bald as a cue ball) was pictured on a billboard used to promote the show, with the caption, TOTAL NUT JOBS. Pictured above is a billboard used to promote the MJ Morning Show. Schnitt is best known for wacky slogans like "Don't touch that dial. It has Schnitt all over it!" and for overdoing the sound effects. Last we heard, he hasn't shaved his head yet. That's bald Britney Spears on the left and Todd Schnitt a/k/a MJ Kelli on the right. Schnitt is heard weekdays from 3 'til 6 PM on WIOD 610. Thanks to the folks at WFLZ for furnishing the picture.
	Here's a different perspective on the Don Imus story, by Shaun Powell, sports columnist for NewsDay: It's more than just Imus. Web Radio: South Florida May Lose SHE Again! by Alan Michaels, ShesOnlyRockNRoll.com Since 1999 She Web Radio has been serving South Florida with classic rock online. On March 2nd 2007, the US Copyright Office released their new set of rates for the payment of royalties by Internet Radio. These royalty rates are so high that they will put South Florida's Internet Rock Radio ShesOnlyRockNRoll.com and every other US-based small-to-medium-sized webcaster out of business. ShesOnlyRockNRoll.Com recommends these CDs of the Rock Era: After Bathing at Baxter's - Jefferson Airplane Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan Delaney & Bonnie On Tour With Eric Clapton The Doors Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix Led Zeppelin IV (aka ZOSO) Revolver [UK] - Beatles Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones Who's Next - The Who Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd What can you do to save internet radio and local web radio? A new bill has been introduced in Congress that will save Internet radio from the devastating royalty fee increases that will put thousands of Internet webcasters out of business on July 15th 2007. Please call your Representative in Congress as soon as possible and urge them to co-sponsor H.R. 2060, the Internet Radio Equality Act. SaveNetRadio.org makes this very easy. Visit the site and enter your Zip Code. You will be given the phone number to contact your Congressperson along with some excellent talking points to bring up during your call so you won't be wondering what you have to say! Thanks for your support!	As advertised on your favorite talk show: Submitted For Your Consideration: An Off-The-Wall Idea For A Brokered Program You ever see those commercials for mesothelioma lawyers on late-night TV? I wonder why none of them (AFAIK) have a brokered mesothelioma radio program, in which they could answer questions about mesothelioma (a kind of cancer caused by asbestos). Then they could publicize The Florida Mesothelioma Attorneys Radio Show (ow whatever they call it) on those same TV commercials. If such a brokered radio program fills a need and they make money doing so, what the heck. Just remember it was my idea!
