Fast Forward


Here is an excerpt from my very first posting here

Greetings and Salutations!

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Ralph Anybody, morning DJ at KPIG radio, broadcasting out of Freedom California at 107oink5 FM, and on-line at kpig.com
we also simulcast The Pig in San Luis Obispo, California at 94oink9 FM

Those of you who do know me…I mean really know me, know my real name, and those of you who don’t know me only need to know me as Ralphie…besides, if you know Ralphie, than you know me, and that’s all you need to know, because we are the same person….confusing enough for you?….I’m confused and I wrote it!

You can Google KPIG, or, better yet, it’s founder Laura Ellen Hopper and find out more about the greatest radio station on the face of the earth…sadly, most of the hits for Laura Ellen are from the many obituaries published after her untimely death back in 2007...we miss you Laura. Laura was the Pit Bull that kept our Corporate Masters (Mapleton Communications) from coming in our yard and stomping (crapping) all over our beautiful format!!

They never understood what a gem of a radio station they owned, and instead of polishing this gem and taking good care of it and putting it in a glass case, they shoved it in a drawer with all the other faux gems and fools gold they own, never realizing it’s worth.

Fast forward to

Now...there is a new group running KPIG, trying to clean up Mapleton's mess. These people actually know radio...and even though that's very encouraging, nothing much has really changed...there is still this huge disconnect between management and we the (little) people! And even though they know radio... it seems to me (and others) that they keep missing obvious opportunities.


We'll see...


As always, thank you for your support!

I guess that’s all for now!

Ralphie
