Sean Demery is not a jerk... OK maybe a little...

This is what I believe.

I believe... That an Alternative radio station practicing the status quo is at odds with itself, thus making the station impotent with the Alternative listener.
I believe... That many Alternative stations have changed very little since the early 90s.
I believe... That most alternative station sound more or less like KROQ circa 1995. (production, VO, contests, concerts, promos)
I believe... That most all formats have the same production values that Alt Rock stations offer. How Alternative is that? [more]
