Wtmx Radio


130 E Randolph Street
Chicago, IL 60601
(312) 946-1019

Is anyone else as baffled as I am that this station is so popular? To be fair, I've never listened to this station at any time other than the morning. But that was more than enough. Eric, Kathy and Melissa are criminally annoying. Eric prattles on and dishes with the girls about Britney Spears, Mary Janes, fierce cosmos and pugs. But, of course, he doesn't _really_ know anything about this stuff because he is Straight (like Richard Simmons), Straight (like Charles Nelson Reilly), Straight (like RuPaul). And Kathy and Melissa do their level best to set the women's movement back hundreds of years (respectively with inane ramblings and palpable lack of confidence) each time they open their mouths.

Eric says, "The sun is a source of cold."

Kathy says, "Really, Eric? Uh...duh....Garwsh, I never done thought of that before. Wooaaaooww. Gigglegiggle."

Melissa says, "Um, no I don't think..."

Eric says, "Aren't you old and desperate for a man?"

Melissa shuts up.

How do people listen to this day in and day out? When I first moved to Chicago, my clock radio was set on this frequency from my previous city of residence. The one positive I can say about THA MIXXX is that as soon as I heard the inanity, I would bolt out of bed to turn the radio off. So, thanks Eric & Kathy, for making sure that I started my day with a fright and great annoyance but, at least, I got out of bed promptly.
