12 Years Ago Today; Rick, Sarah, Tim, and Greg, signed off of terrestrial radio for the final time as an ensemble. The signs had been there fore weeks, but October 23, the rug was pulled out from under them (along with Cort and Fatboy). The owners of the station were not satisfied with the content, as they felt it was too geeky. The replaced nearly everyone on KUFO, and rather than make the station better, ratings took an absolute nose dive, from which it would never recover. Within two years, the station would no longer even be a music station, but an FM News station, which was part of a trend to destroy fun and engaging music stations that people enjoyed, and replace them with endless, often voice tracked, news programs.
It was only about 2 weeks before Greg and Sarah started Funemployment Radio, nearly a year before Rick did something similar with "Legion of News" and his traditional show, along with Dawn Taylor, and Tim was able to get into several other positions on radio and TV since. But nothing beats the chemistry that Rick, Sarah, Tim, and Greg had, and nothing, short of a full reunion can ever replace them.
