The Bear is a radio station for people that don't like music. If you hate silence while you're driving or at work but you can't stand country, dance, or "lite" rock, then The Bear is probably just the perfect amount of adequate for you.
If you're entertained by cheap, immature publicity stunts, then you'll love Paul Brown's morning show.
The Bear plays all the usual radio filler fluff like Nickelback, Green Day, Linkin Park, Nickelback, Nickelback, and Nickelback. I read that back in the late '70s, radio stations used to advertise "Bee Gee Free Weekends". Radio stations today need to implement such a promotion regarding Nickelback. In 1966, dozens of radio stations held bonfire parties for burning Beatles records. So far, no station (that I know of) has done such a thing for Nickelback. The Bear could gain a lot of street cred for this. Let's go!
Anyway, the station plays a few classic rock songs too, but it's always the same obligatory "You Shook Me All Night Long with a Whole Lotta Love because there was Another Brick in the Wall" stuff. The usual.
The only great thing about The Bear is Yukon Jack's "My Big Yap" segment. That is gold. I hear his commentaries and think to myself, "how can this guy work at a station that he should be making fun of?"
If you're seriously a fan of rock music, get satellite radio. read more
