I'm old enough to remember when radio was personality driven. When I was growing up, I listened to the likes of Jonathon Brandmeier, Kevin Matthews, Chet Coppock, plus Garry Meier, Steve Dahl, Howard Stern & others who were BIG names at the time.

I don't know if the 2020 pandemic had something to do with it, let alone all the budget cuts & different stations being swallowed up by larger corporations, but the days of personality-driven, multi-million dollar hosts are long gone.
