Its awful if you live here IMHO. I love Spotify but listen to WKIT every time I'm in a vehicle. I've listened to most of the DJs on WKIT for many years. You feel like you know them after so many years. They had Jim Witt and Mike Geary doing weather for free. Best forecasts around without all the hype of the TV guys looking for hits on a website. Radio is way more personal than Spotify. Its a changing world and I doubt its for the better.
When Dan Hannigan was at WZON doing afternoon primetime and play by play for Maine hockey, you couldn't ask for better local sports radio. He composed silly lyrics to old tunes for every team in Hockey East, they were clever as all get out. I doubt any team anywhere had a better play by play guy.
Its a sad end to an era. Been listening to wkit since their beginning about everyday, sometimes all day, up until about 3 to 4 years ago. Just got tired of the same music when choice is so unlimited on the different apps. Dont even buy music anymore.
Shields does a really good job now with the coaches show and the radio play by play. Hannigan was in his own class though, liked how he always included the visiting team coach during the pregame show.
