The End of The End 101.9

Posted // 2010-04-21 - As rumored in various radio media yesterday, 101.9 The End has dumped its DJs and gone, as they say, "jockless" for the first time since its inception in 1996.
As reported by All Access, this means no more Jimmy Chunga and ... who else was on The End? Since I never changed my radio preset when they switched from 107.5 years ago, have no idea. Also, AA says The End's bold new automated format will now "focus
largely on ‘90s music." Great--how many stations do we have in Salt Lake already doing that? Gotta love radio consultants.

The End is still around?
I am (admittedly like a lot of people) one of those who has a short attention span and would change channels a lot, sometimes listening to music and sometimes the talk, it depended on my mood and what they were talking about...I sometimes listened and sometimes enjoyed Chunga and Cort. Yes, Chunga was full of himself and could be annoying and had quite the ego but was funny at times too.
I liked the music they were playing a lot better than what is on now...and have noticed that not only this station but 100.7 movin has gone to an all music...this irritates me (and is going to drive me to probably eventually pay for satalite radio, being that I cummute 30-40 minutes 5 times a week to work)...because I no longer enjoy changing channels to listen to the newest songs(and some old) I like as well as some talk occasionally with news mixed in. A lot of my friends feel this way as well...someone needs to read and listen to what people want and they should if you want to keep local radio going...
The only reason I listened to the end was to hear Chunga and Cort!
Chunga was too narcissitic and deserved to be axed since he never hesitated to ax his partners, BUT c'mon Citadel...the new music "for Gen X" is awful!! I miss the old music. I have to reprogram my presets-Dang!
Whether or not you liked the DJs, at least they played mostly-decent music. The new stuff is horrid!
