The End of the Dr. Demento Show On Radio

damnbunni writes "Dr. Demento has announced that his long-running comedy radio show will be ending (except weekly in and around Amarillo, TX). Modern 'format' radio has been less and less friendly to oddball and offbeat programming, and after years of declining station membership the Doctor announced on June 6 that his radio show will be no more. He will still stream weekly shows on Saturday from his website, drdemento.com. While I'm sad to see the show go, nearly 40 years is a good run."

    Weird Al got his start there, for example

    I was indifferent to this radio show's demise until I read this. Now it you've gone and made it seem like a good thing.

    The world would be a better place if there were less stupefyingly unfunny parodies.

    I can't stand to listen to NPR anymore. Ever since the last presidential inauguration they turned into a shameless propaganda outlet. Now they're Fox News's socialist twin.
