Radio Back to Headquarters - This post doesn't have much to do with my immigration journey. However, on our recent trip down South I was so thoroughly amused by a trend in North America to give radio stations strange names, that I had to write about it. Back in the day, I can remember just identifying a station by its call letters. But, I guess with the advent of huge communications corporations buying out all the local markets, they're wanting to make life easier by using generic names to be used in syndication.

Anyway, here's a list of some of the names we heard driving from Canada to Florida and back again:

Jack FM

Wally FM

Steve

The Boss

The Lake

The River

The Beach

Sunny 103.whatever

Froggy

Big Dawg

The Shark

The Rooster

The Beat

Kiss FM

and my personal favorite... The Pickle
