Radio Sucks

from The Stream Girls · host Sandy Shore + Donna K. Phillips

In Episode 2 of The Stream Girls, Sandy takes us back to the 1990s — a decade when Smooth Jazz was thriving, audiences were loyal, and terrestrial radio was supposed to be the heartbeat of every community. Instead, it became a revolving door of broken promises, format flips, and corporate chaos. And after living through four station flips, Sandy finally said the words that would change everything: Radio Sucks.That was the moment. The snap. The line in the sand.Sandy walked away from terrestrial radio and bought the domain RadioSucks.com out of pure frustration. And almost immediately, someone tried to buy it from her for ten thousand dollars — proof she wasn’t the only one fed up with an industry.
