There’s something special about listening to a local radio newscast — or any locally produced show, whether it’s streaming or coming through the FM dial. It feels like you’re being genuinely served by people who live where you live.
It’s not glamorous like the high‑gloss TV news sets or the fashion‑forward anchors. Even when local TV has camaraderie, you don’t feel it the same way. Radio hits differently. You hear the community. You hear the work. You hear the heart.
That’s the magic of radio — and honestly, platforms like Substack tap into the same energy. It’s intimate. It’s with you in the car, on a walk, while you’re making dinner or making the bed. It’s a companion, not a performance.
Excellent Rob 👍40+ years in LA. I remember listening to KNX (AM 1070), KFI (Listening in the car when the twin towers were hit),/ as well as the late KFWB (AM 98). Now living in Houston (Blue), Texas (Red). It can get challenging 🤔

Thank you, Rob, as always.
