Got this from a bunch of folks ...

... and who really cares?  I'm glad these guys have jobs for the next few years.  But the station sounds bad, the talent is poorly guided and the best they can do is release PR-created crap like this:

WXOS-FM, St. Louis program director Jason Barrett, himself the recent recipient of a contract extension, announces “The Fast Lane” hosts Randy Karraker, D’Marco Farr and Bob Ramsey are all signed to three year contract extensions. Barrett says of the trio, “Randy, D’Marco and Rammer have grown as individuals the past two years. But more importantly they have really grown as a team. They have opened their minds to new ideas while developing great chemistry and trust, and their preparation and willingness to do the little things necessary outside of the show have played a big part in their ratings success. I am proud of what they have accomplished and look forward to working with them for the next three years.” (December 9, 2010)

If you ran the biggest, baddest signal on the dial in a format with competitors like the little pipsqueak AM's we have here and didn't win, you should be taken to The Wall, blindfolded and shot for incompetence.  101's local people might as well be speaking their shows in Urdu as English.
