Rainbow Radio Flashes

There's a bunch of new developments in the local radio scene, and we'll be bringing you the details on what's happening to the airwaves in future issues of the SUN. Let it be known for now that the righteous Rudnick is now blasting them out on Windsor's CJOM-FM (88.7 on your dial), every Sunday night from 6-10; many of you probably remember the famed Kokaine Karma show that Rudnick and ABX's Dennis Frawley put together first in New York and then in the Motor City . . . Danny Carlisle and Jerry Lubin have both submitted their resignations to WRIF because they can't stand the rigid "hit" format recently instituted at the station by ABC, as reported in the last SUN. Danny and Jerry can be heard for the last time on RIF on Saturday, February 5... Station Manager Dick Kernan has also been fired from RIF, and rumour has it that a 19 year-old "youth expert" has been hired by ABC to run the station. More on that weirdness soon . . . WCBN, the University-run FM station, is now broadcasting from the Student Activities Building out to a 7-mile radius of Ann Arbor, at 89.5 on your FM dial. We'll be doing a full report on their activities soon as well, but for now check out brother Randy Brooks every Sunday night at 11:15 ... Apparently our all too short, in-passing reference to WABX in the last SUN confused and bewildered some people, including ABX's own Dave Dixon, who called us up to register his complaint. We have to stand by our criticism of the energy-level of the jams at the big X, but at the same time we must admit that there's been almost no coverage at all of the truly progressive moves going down at the David Stott Building in the SUN. That's an error which we hope to remedy with a future story in a forthcoming issue of the paper . . . There's so much we want to cover, but space considerations don't allow us to get to everything that's happening as soon as we'd like . . .
