• What the F(M)? 99.7 Boulevard Now Kiss?

  The above image is what you see when you go to www.997theboulevard.com. We're as surprised as you are, folks. Imagine the shock of people driving home, expecting the usual "quality rock" and instead getting Top 40 and ... gahgahgahgagaaag Ryan Seacrest's syndicated show. This is way worse than when KY became the Boulevard. Expect delays on the drive home in the coming weeks -- due, mainly, to multi-car pileups. Why, Entercom, why!?!?! We will investigate. Stay tuned.
