I tried to find hope in The Land of Vigilance and Cynicism through running a mock station, watching V-Tubers, & my own and other's musings. I failed miserably.

LEG #1 / STOP #10: 90.5 The Night (WBJB Lincroft / Middletown, NJ)
Like with WYEP, this station also didn't give me much to say. But at least there was music discovery, and it's hosted at a community college.

This is before we factor in any of their specialty programming, but otherwise, a solid gateway station into AAA radio. For now, not much more than that.

The other big shocker (other than Austin Vandegrift stunning Austin Westlake, so there goes one of my region predictions), was Converse Judson getting blown out by Laredo United.
I had United winning, which would be bad enough. I didn't expect 42-0 bad, which might say a lot for one, possibly both.

The Trojan (Euless Trinity) replaces the Warrior (Arlington Martin) as the perennial DFW choker. The latter didn't even make the playoffs this year, and I'm used to seeing them out by the 3rd round.
Trinity blew their 2nd half to a team who hadn't danced since 2018. LOOOOL. #TexasHSFootballPlayoffs

2025 TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS (by me):
I have the sinking feeling that we're seeing Duncanville / North Shore for the 6th time in 8 years, as well as the Civil Rights Violation school winning their first state title since 2011.
Please let me be wrong about these outcomes!

...for the first time in 3 years, I am pulling a "Starry Jet" for a song that would otherwise be an amazing Ineligible Mention for a best list video.
But I caved in, on the slim hope that it's tacked on to Hime's next album.

Even with me seeing all the room for improvement here, as I said, while the weekly show is still a segregated specialty one, I'm still happy that this was realized. Even if for the overnight CST hours.
As someone who's been asking for more V-Tuber rep on radio, I can't wait to see this blossom.

I actually do want to talk more about the new V-Tuber show that ASHA_EXE has going on with VTuneFM, as I was able to catch Show #2 last night.
And part of me wants to give some grace since it's still in its infancy. In fact, I'm honestly more glad that we got this at all.
Setlist below.

"Brony Song"
Next time that happens, you should absolutely do that and see if the response is as surprisingly good as my word-of-mouth with fandom music for KXT.

I don't want to hear anything about Doki or anyone past or present at that other entity ever again. I'm sick of it, and I've been trying to move on with those elsewhere who I actually enjoy watching and keeping up with.
We're nearly going on two whole years of this.

I now take a chainsaw to my own radio format, adult alternative, for this sorry "timely" excuse for an advertised Charlie Kirk "tribute". If you want to let your station know that you don't want this, all adds below.

Did you all know that we have two Christian / Gospel songs infect the Hot 100 here in America, within the past year?
Did you all want a THIRD song to chart in 2025?
(The first two were Brandon Lake's "Hard Fought Hallelujah" & Forrest Frank's "Your Way's Better", BTW.)

Hey, Hip Hop & R&B stations! Adding a Gen A/I "artist" named Xania Monet to your rotation is a bad fucking idea!
