Three Generations of Insane Power Pop! THE HITS - And The Songs That Should've Been™️ https://www.GreatBigRadio.com

With all the falsehoods, spamming, misinformation, intolerant behavior and the general destruction of what was Twitter on X these days, that should have been enough for us to leave. Now they decided our posting what songs we play is “inauthentic behavior.” As if X has any integrity now with its current owner.

We will no longer post to, or promote X. There are better social venues out there that deserve and earn your use. We’re thrilled to have the decision to leave made for us by these abusers.

So we played with Apple Intelligence today and it spit out this logo. They actually came up with a graphic louder than GBR. We'll stick to what we have, and abuse the technology in some other nefarious way.

Shhhhh. Don't. Make. Any. Sudden. Moves.

But we may be back. Let's not go nuts here. Just be careful.

Yeah, the system blew up. Yeah, I’m out of town. Yeah, a new system arrives tomorrow. You know this drill. Apparently $159 mini PCs have an expiration date. Thanks!

We're not kidding. The GBR App for iOS and Android is free. Absolutely free. No on screen ads. No additional memory drain with background crud. No fooling. Listen to GBR on our 5G and LTE streams, only on the app. Now GO GET IT.

WE'RE BACK, WE'RE BACK, OMIGOD WE'RE BACK.

It only took two days, a recovery and reinstall. Y'know - the usual BS. So listen while it's still working. Thanks.

Crap happens. We're working on the mystery issue right now. Stand by, if you have several hours.

WE MADE IT TO THE AUDACY APP!
Our conquest of the world is - well, moving forward nicely.
It's our first day on Audacy, and you get the party...because we're too tired from all the onboarding. Enjoy.

The GBR Playlist Monster is being cute. From bottom-to-top, here’s what it decided to play.

And while we’re at it, even during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Canada has time to tune into our nonsense. A Double-loon for your thoughts. (WE KNOW IT’S TOONIE, BUT YOU MISSED THE BOAT BY NOT CALLING IT A DOUBLE-LOON. Change our mind. 601-600-ROCK.)

We seem to be a hit in Australia. At least the western part. Thanks, mates and matesses. Our Australian Shepherd, Brooklyn, says hi.

Hey. Get to https://www.greatbigradio.com/ to get our FREE GBR app for iPhone or Android. You can now choose from our two HD streams: 5G and the new LTE that works brilliantly with really mediocre and even lousy internet.

50 years as a broadcast fixture, a destination for every music act that comes into town, a companion to millions, an extremely generous workmate - and occasionally, a stuntman. A New York legend rocks on. Happy Anniversary, Jim Kerr.

This legendary radio station now has a Christian format. However, it was a very popular station in the NY area, from its Rock days to its Top 40 days. The...

And yet again, we dropped another boatload of good 'uns into the dangerously bloated playlist. Whatever you do, DON'T CLICK THE LINK, or the entire internet could blow up. DON'T DO IT

We've dumped a whole bunch of songs 'n' such into the GBR playlist because the same old 5,218 songs over and over get old. Enjoy the new old stuff if that makes any sense. Thanks - and thanks for following us on Facebook. We just need to figure out where we're going. We'll work on that.

The last half hour. We've been kicking some pretty large and significant ass, if we say so ourselves. And we do.

Everything we play is random. So once in a while, just randomly drop in and see what we're polluting the internet with. Save the link. It's fun. And if you're already doing that, thanks mightily.
